Pros
- Gene Woods vision of providing healthcare for all and pervasive practice within legacy Atrium Health to put the patient first. - Camaraderie within Legacy Atrium research teams.
Cons
- Shortsighted to put fast-paced Atrium research under notoriously slow academic medical center Wake Forest (WFSM). WSFM makes decisions without thought to financial implications and it has a terrible reputation with pharma and biotech companies. - Integration decisions by WFSM leadership has been the "Wake way" only,- no consideration to best practice, and causing extra work for overworked staff in legacy Atrium. - In nearly 2 years, WFSM leaders have promoted only those from legacy Wake. - Difficult to rate Atrium Health where it should be as responses get downgraded because of WFSM.
