About Us

For more than twenty years, The Children’s Hospital at the Medical Center of Central Georgia has been the primary source of healthcare for sick and injured kids from more than 29 Central and South Georgia counties. Here, each child, regardless of ability to pay receives world-class care, specifically designed for pediatric patients. Part of what makes the design so special is the child-friendly, family-centered approach our professionals take to healthcare. This method encompasses every aspect of care including staff, physical surroundings and even medical equipment used. The Children’s Hospital understands the needs of children differ greatly from those of an adult.

Funds raised from the Reindeer Run this year will not only support these life-saving services, but also help purchase specific “wish list” items used in various departments of The Children’s Hospital. Past support from the race has made it possible to complete crucial projects for the hospital, including establishing a Pediatric Intermediate Care Unit, which has recently opened in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. These additional six beds serve patients whose illness or injury is not severe enough for intensive care, but too critical to be cared for on the general pediatrics floor.

As a not-for-profit hospital, The Children’s Hospital relies on your support to continue to provide the best possible healthcare for Central Georgia children close to home. Thank you for your participation in the 19th Annual Reindeer Run and Santa Stroll. You are helping the next generation of Central Georgian grow healthy and strong!
