Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Affiliations
Learn more about Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Affiliations
Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s affiliations are established with organizations that share in our vision to improve quality and access to pediatric care. These organizations are committed to high-quality, community-based care and are aligned with our core values and principles of collaboration.
Mercer University School of Medicine (MUSM) and Children’s are working together to improve pediatric healthcare in rural Georgia. The affiliation includes a series of pilot programs focused on improving access to pediatric care close to home and will be funded by a dedicated and long-term sustainable fund of $200 million that the Children’s Board of Trustees allocated in 2022. Children’s is funding 10 full-tuition scholarships in 2023 through a program at Mercer University School of Medicine for medical students specializing in pediatrics who commit to serving in rural Georgia for at least four years after residency.
Children’s is collaborating with Mercy Care Atlanta to provide on-site pediatric primary care at the Mercy Care Chamblee clinic. The clinic will more than triple the current capacity of Mercy Care’s existing North clinic and expand pediatric primary care services to homeless and impoverished patients.
Children’s and Mercy Care are both vital community resources with dedicated staff and engaged volunteers focused on providing access to compassionate, patient-centered care for individuals in need. Working with Mercy Care will allow Children’s Primary Care physicians and staff to treat even more patients every year.
Historical Research Collaborations Position Children’s for Excellence
With three hospitals across metro Atlanta and four scientific and academic collaborations, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is well-positioned to make new discoveries for a healthier tomorrow. Many of our physicians practice medicine at the bedside while also investigating potential treatments in the lab through clinical trials and research studies. We accomplish this through collaborations with the Emory University School of Medicine Department of Pediatrics, Georgia Institute of Technology and others. These elite collaborations help make Children’s a leader in pediatric discovery. Learn more about our academic and scientific affiliations.
