Advocates for Children named Cartersville Medical Center their "Community Partner of the Year"

Media release: Advocates for Children named Cartersville Medical Center their "Community Partner of the Year" at the non-profit organization's annual meeting today.  A benefactor since the mid 1990s, Cartersville Medical Center has supported Advocates for Children through sponsorship of special events, volunteerism and board representation.  Most importantly, the medical center actively supports "First Steps", a program that provides the earliest possible intervention for the prevention of child abuse and neglect.

 

First Steps volunteers visit with new mothers and their newborns at Cartersville Medical Center to provide education, support and a connection to emotional and physical resources. "The enthusiasm and efforts of the nursing staff at Cartersville Medical Center enable our First Steps program to assist hundreds of new mothers every year," says Patty Eagar, executive director of Advocates for Children.  "We are tremendously grateful for this partnership and for the hospital's efforts to ensure that Bartow County is a great place to be a child," said Eagar.

 

Hospital CEO Keith Sandlin was presented with a beautifully unique award, handmade by residents from Flowering Branch Children's Shelter at today's luncheon.  "It is truly an honor to be recognized by Advocates; I applaud the great work that is being done every day to educate and support new mothers by First Steps volunteers and our Mother/Baby staff," says Sandlin.  "Our community's children deserve the right to live in a safe, happy and nurturing environment and we all share in the responsibility of ensuring that right."
