Georgia counts on Children’s

We know Georgians are counting on us to make a difference—both in the lives of kids and in the strength of our communities.

Our impact on Georgia

Children’s directly employs nearly 15,000 people and serves patients from all 159 counties, making a significant impact on Georgia's economy.

Children’s operates three hospitals, Marcus Autism Center, the Center for Advanced Pediatrics, Zalik Behavioral and Mental Health Center, and numerous neighborhood locations and Urgent Care Centers.

On an annual basis, Children’s:

  • Cares for more than 453,400 unique patients.
  • Manages more than 1.2 million patient visits.
  • Performs more than 45,500 surgical procedures (inpatient and outpatient).
When kids need care, most parents turn to our Emergency Department, where we manage nearly 240,000 visits yearly, as one of the busiest pediatric emergency departments in the country.
  • We provide access to specialized hospital care and treatment at our two dedicated pediatric trauma centers—The Level I Pediatric Trauma Center at Children's Arthur M. Blank Hospital and the Level II Pediatric Trauma Center at our Scottish Rite Hospital. Arthur M. Blank Hospital is the only Level I pediatric trauma center in Georgia and Scottish Rite Hospital is one of only two Level II pediatric trauma centers in the state.
