Already the Charlotte region's largest employer, Atrium Health continues to position itself to grow both in size and in influence. In early December, it completed a strategic combination — its latest of several in recent years — with Advocate Aurora Health, forming the fifth-largest nonprofit, integrated health system in the nation and extending its reach into the Midwest. Advocate Health, the new corporate entity for both systems, is based in Charlotte. Atrium's Gene Woods and Advocate Aurora's Jim Skogsberg are serving as co-CEOs for now, with plans for Woods to eventually take on the solo role when Skogsberg retires.
