Teammates

System Resource Groups (SRGs) are teammates who join together in the workplace based on shared characteristics or life experiences. SRGs support workforce engagement, retention, professional development and actively represent Atrium Health in our communities. These groups leverage their cultural expertise to advance the mission and goals of Atrium Health. SRGs bring value to our workplace, support our commitment to diversity and inclusion and further our mission.
