History of Atrium Health Floyd
Atrium Health Floyd has a rich history, from the opening of our doors on July 4, 1942, through today. But the story of Floyd began earlier, in the 1930s, when Dr. W.H. Lewis and a group of community leaders announced their candidacy for the Floyd County Board of Roads and Revenue. Their goal was to construct a county hospital for the citizens of Rome, Georgia, and Floyd County.
Over the years, Floyd grew from a 70-bed facility into a regional health system of three hospitals, a free-standing behavioral health center and a growing network of primary care, urgent care and specialty providers.
A rich history
To celebrate our 80th anniversary in 2022, we compiled a pictorial history of Floyd that details the people, events and projects that propelled us to become a regional referral center, teaching hospital and network of primary and ancillary care that reaches from northwest Georgia to northeast Alabama.
