Annie Valenty is the Community Outreach Liaison for Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (“Children’s”).  She spoke to the Rotary Club of Lawrenceville on August 18 about the history and mission of Children’s in our community.  Made up of three major pediatric hospitals (Scottish Rite, Egleston, and Hughes Spalding), Children’s is among the largest providers of pediatric clinical care in the country.  Marcus Autism Center is also part of the group.  It impacts the community with its 8,900 employees but most of all with the care it makes available to young patients.  The Gwinnett facility is on Satellite Blvd.  Not only do they provide surgical, sports medicine, and general medical care for children, but they have actively been involved in getting anti-concussion legislation passed in Georgia.  They support public schools with their Strong 4 Life Program.  As a non-profit organization, they solicit donations and volunteers.
