Family Support Services
Care for the Whole Child and Family
The Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta cares about the whole child and family. This means helping a child physically, emotionally and spiritually, if needed. Since a child’s life is centered on his/her family, a crucial element of recovery is supporting the family as a whole.
