Family Support Services
Care for the Whole Child and Family
The Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Carlos and Marguerite Mason Transplant Center 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.
