CONCORD — The history of Atrium Health Cabarrus dates to the mid-1930s, when Charles A. Cannon and his associate, George A. Batte Jr., led an effort to pursue more accessible and full-service health care for the wave of workers that Cannon Mills brought to Cabarrus County. The small, private “sick house” on Union Street was not able to accommodate the growing population.
Cabarrus Healthcare Foundation was created in 1994 to support one of our community's most valued assets, Atrium Health Cabarrus. Community leaders were invited to establish a Foundation board of directors whose mission was to secure additional financial support solely for Atrium Health Cabarrus. Through an organized program of fund development with families, friends, businesses and neighbors, this mission continues today. Gifts to Cabarrus Healthcare Foundation are considered gifts of love and support from the community, gifts that acknowledge the importance of preserving and enhancing the health status of our community.
