Gwinnett Community Outreach Program
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is committed to being a pediatric center of excellence. Parents can bring their children to our Gwinnett County satellite locations instead of traveling to the hospital for many healthcare needs. Gwinnett County has one of the fastest growing pediatric populations in the country and expects an additional 30,000 children by 2009. Children’s is expanding our facilities and growing our services to meet this increasing community demand.
