The multi-year gift includes a $1 million donation from Kaiser Permanente every year through 2013. Half of the gift will be used to fund the construction of new hospital that replaces the existing Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Hughes Spalding facility in downtown Atlanta, while the other half will fund healthcare at the facility for uninsured or underinsured Metro Atlanta children.
The new building will help to enhance the care of the 71,000 inpatient admissions, emergency department visits and outpatient appointments made every year. The facility features brighter colors, child-friendly surfaces, interactive entertainment centers, a consumer library, child life specialists and up-to-date equipment.
The new Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Hughes Spalding facility is designed to enhance access and quality of care and reduce the care disparities and inequities that exist in the metro area.
