Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is expanding pediatric care into Southwest Atlanta with the opening of a new primary care clinic on Monday.
Children’s Adamsville Pediatrics, located at 3571 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive S.W., will provide care for patients from birth through age 21. The practice will offer routine checkups, treatment for chronic illnesses and services for children with behavioral and developmental needs.
The health system marked the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 22, where Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens praised Children’s for responding to the community’s call to bring a pediatric clinic to the area.
“Every family deserves access to quality health care, and every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy and strong,” Dickens said.
Lamarvia Stinson, vice president of operations for Children’s, said the new location reflects the organization’s effort to increase access to pediatric care across the state.
“Our ongoing commitment is that every child in Georgia has access to a pediatrician to monitor their growth, development and wellbeing,” Stinson said.
Children’s Hughes Spalding Primary Care Clinic, which has provided pediatric primary care services in downtown Atlanta for more than 20 years, will remain open. Pediatricians from that clinic will rotate through the new Adamsville location, according to a statement.
“Children’s Adamsville Pediatrics will also serve as an additional training site for medical residents, helping Children’s grow its primary care residency program in collaboration with Emory University School of Medicine and Morehouse School of Medicine,” the statement added.
In addition to the new clinic, Grady Health Systems has a new medical office building, scheduled to open in 2028 in Union City, that will include a floor dedicated to pediatric care provided by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
“Children’s exists to make kids better today and healthier tomorrow. This mission extends beyond our facility walls and out into the communities we serve,” said Donna Hyland, Children’s CEO said in a statement. “We believe it is vital to have a strong network of pediatricians in Georgia.”
