About the Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta
As one of the leading pediatric cancer, hematology, and blood and marrow transplant (BMT) programs in the country, the Aflac Cancer Center provides advanced diagnostic and clinical care, as well as innovative treatment and research options to children, adolescents and young adults. For every child and family we see, the Aflac Cancer Center provides a unique course of treatment—both clinically and emotionally. At Children’s, we strive to help children and their families through their often difficult journey of treatment.
Located at three hospitals, Children’s at Egleston, Children's at Hughes Spalding and Children’s at Scottish Rite, the Aflac Cancer Center features:
- More than 50 inpatient beds and 10 specially designed rooms for pediatric blood and marrow transplants (BMTs)
- Three outpatient centers with a full range of pediatric infusional and apheresis services
- Onsite, innovative diagnostics, cell processing laboratory and oncology pharmacy
- A 20-plus-member family support team—including child life specialists, social workers, chaplains, teachers, psychologists and financial coordinators—that attends to the patient’s and family’s emotional, physical and financial well-being, as well as help the family identify and use all available resources during this difficult time
In 2008, our facilities grew to include additional inpatient rooms, expanded pediatric blood and marrow transplant (BMT) facilities and a new 14,000-square-foot ambulatory facility at Children’s at Egleston.
