Research is a cornerstone of the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta mission to enhance the lives of children. In conjunction with Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Tech and Morehouse, Children’s seeks answers to the most challenging childhood medical conditions through teaching and research.
Children who are overweight are now suffering from diseases once seen only in adults, such as hypertension, liver disease and Type 2 diabetes. That's why Children’s launched Strong4Life, a wellness movement designed to ignite societal change and reverse the epidemic of childhood obesity and its associated diseases in Georgia.
As a not-for-profit organization, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta relies on the generous financial and volunteer support of our community. Your donations directly impact the lives of each family served by Children’s and support many initiatives such as clinical excellence, research, teaching, wellness and charity care.

Our pediatric concussion program combines the expertise of five subspecialties to deliver an individualized care plan for each patient. Our team is actively involved in concussion research and focused on quality initiatives to improve our approach to care. With a dedicated concussion nurse, we are able to help direct patients to the appropriate subspecialists who can help them return to normal activities.
Dance is usually regarded as an art form, but it requires a great deal of athletic ability. That is why our Pediatric Dance Medicine Program treats dancers as athletes. Our therapists and athletic trainers focus on the dancer’s strength and form to prevent injury. They also use dance-focused rehabilitation to help them get back into the studio as soon as possible.
Our Sports Medicine Program has three therapists on staff who are licensed and certified to perform dry needling, a practice that involves placing very thin needles without any medication into muscle fibers.
With isokinetic strength training, the amount of weight lifted (or work performed) is variable—it depends on how much effort/work the athlete puts forth.
Children’s uses motion analysis technology to detect mechanical flaws in sports motion, which ultimately helps physicians treat pediatric sports injuries.
The Children’s Sports Medicine Running Program helps child and teen runners who are injured, have pain or want to prevent injury.
The goal behind the program is that all high school wrestlers compete at a healthy weight.
