Within Atrium Health, we use survey results to better understand what is important to our patients and how we can improve healthcare experiences.

Responses are measured on a scale, where 0 represents "very poor" and 10 represents "very good.” Those scores are shown as 1 to 5 stars on the provider’s profile.
