My daughter was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at the age of 11. It was a crash course in the realities of the healthcare landscape.

We at Novant Health are humbled by the outpouring of support during this crisis. We want to say thank you to everyone who has sent messages of hope, donations of food, masks and medical equipment. And to every individual, family, and business who have given so generously to the Hope for Remarkable Team Aubergine Fund (formerly the Novant Health COVID-19 Disaster Relief Fund), THANK YOU!
