Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite

What Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Scottish Rite does

Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (legal entity: Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Inc.; EIN 58-1710601) is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit pediatric healthcare system headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia. The system was formed in 1998 by the merger of Egleston Children's Health Care System and Scottish Rite Children's Medical Center, with roots tracing to the Scottish Rite Convalescent Home for Crippled Children founded in 1915. It operates three hospitals — Arthur M. Blank Hospital (opened September 29, 2024 on the North Druid Hills campus), Hughes Spalding Hospital (downtown Atlanta), and Scottish Rite Hospital (north Atlanta) — with a combined 789 licensed beds, 167 emergency department beds, and 104 ICU beds.

The system delivers pediatric care from birth through age 21 across more than 30 medical specialties, including cancer and blood disorders (Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center), cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery, neurology, neurosurgery, orthopedics and sports medicine, transplant, neonatology, and emergency/trauma services. It is the only nationally ranked pediatric hospital system in Georgia by U.S. News & World Report (ranked in 10 specialty areas) and operates Georgia's only Level 1 pediatric trauma center alongside one of the few pediatric ECMO programs in the Southeast. Supporting technology infrastructure includes the MyChart patient portal, a mobile application with navigation and wait-time features, and telemedicine services; Marcus Autism Center, an affiliated center, employs an FDA-cleared eye-tracking technology for early autism diagnosis.

Revenue derives primarily from patient care services paid through insurance reimbursements, Medicaid/Medicare, and self-pay, supplemented by Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Foundation donations. The system maintains an academic partnership with Emory University School of Medicine as its pediatric teaching affiliate. It serves children from all 159 Georgia counties and holds Joint Commission accreditation and ANCC Magnet recognition at its two flagship hospitals.
