When the call goes out, our city staff don capes in a pinch!

Earlier this month, the Cobb County Government Board of Commissioners proclaimed today, Oct. 23, as Children's Healthcare of Atlanta Cape Day in Cobb County. This day each year focuses on the real superheroes — the children battling illnesses and injuries. We want them to know that they are not fighting alone!

To all the superhero patients and their families, we’ve got your back. Keep up the fight!
