Children's has more than 60 pediatric specialties and is one of the largest pediatric clinical care providers in the country, managing more than one million patient visits annually at three hospitals (Egleston, Hughes Spalding, Scottish Rite), Marcus Autism Center, the Center for Advanced Pediatrics and neighborhood locations. Consistently ranked among the top children’s hospitals by U.S. News & World Report, Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has impacted the lives of kids in Georgia, across the United States and around the world for more than 100 years.
