At the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, we treat children, teens and young adults with childhood cancer and blood disorders. Our extensively trained and highly skilled clinical team has experience treating a full spectrum of cancers and blood disorders, whether common or rarely seen outside of the country’s top pediatric cancer centers.

As one of the leading childhood cancer and blood disorders programs in the U.S., we are able to offer comprehensive programs dedicated to each of the major types of childhood cancer. As a result, each patient receives specialized care from our team of providers. We are committed to incorporating the latest proven technology and research into our family-friendly, child-focused care. This approach is what sets Children’s apart and makes the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center a top choice for pediatric cancer and blood disorders treatment.

COVID-19 Resources and Updates

As the COVID-19 pandemic rapidly evolves, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is keeping you informed with the latest scientific information and guidance on how to protect your family.

Facebook has a tool that makes it easy for you to host your own online fundraiser. National Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month is a great time to use this resource to raise awareness for Marcus Autism Center, share your story and reach a fundraising goal. Consider matching gifts to make your friends’ donations go twice as far. Every single dollar raised goes directly to Marcus Autism Center to support our goal of maximizing the potential of children with autism today and transforming the future of autism through research.

Not sure how high to set your fundraising goal? Consider this: Your gift can help us purchase much-needed items, like food for our facility dog, or art supplies and toys for clinical sessions and research. Any amount makes a difference.
