Children Healthcare of Atlanta is the largest and most prestigious pediatric medical system in Georgia and the entire Southeastern United States.

It is a name every family raising children should know, caring for hundreds of thousands of pediatric and adolescent patients each year while providing top-level pediatric medical services in the U.S.

It consistently ranks among the top pediatric hospitals in the nation according to U.S. News and World Report and pediatric specialty journals.

CHOA is not a single hospital but a large medical system composed of multiple campuses. Notable campuses include the Egleston Campus located on Scotland Avenue, the Hughes Spalding Campus near Midtown, and the system located in the North Druid Hills area near Duluth in Gwinnett County.

The Egleston Campus, in particular, is adjacent to Emory University and serves as a teaching hospital closely linked with Emory School of Medicine.

CHOA excels in specialized fields such as Pediatric Cardiac Surgery, Pediatric Oncology, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Neonatal Intensive Care (NICU), and rare disease treatment.

In the field of pediatric cardiac surgery, it has a nationally recognized team and achieves excellent results in complex congenital heart disease surgeries. The Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center in pediatric oncology is also regarded as one of the top pediatric cancer treatment centers in the U.S.

For Korean families, CHOA is especially important. Health issues for children can be one of the moments when the language barrier is most felt, and CHOA offers interpretation services in various languages, including Korean.

In cases of serious pediatric illnesses, emergencies, or surgeries, CHOA serves as a last resort where patients from all over Georgia converge. There is also a pediatric specialty outpatient clinic near Gwinnett County, making it relatively accessible in areas with a high Korean population.

While routine pediatric check-ups or vaccinations are efficiently conducted through a nearby pediatrician, it is advisable to actively utilize referrals to CHOA for complex pediatric conditions or when specialist opinions are needed.

Appointments for outpatient services by specialty can be made through the CHOA website, and in emergencies, the pediatric emergency room at the Egleston Campus can be utilized.

For families with children in Atlanta, it is wise to know the contact information and location of CHOA in advance.
