On January 14th, nearly 70 members attended our General Membership meeting at the new Arthur M. Blank Hospital – part of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. Kristin Bowman, Nursing Practice and Magnet Director, spoke to us on the building of the new hospital and highly rehearsed transition of patients and staff from the former Egleston Hospital to the new Arthur M. Blank Hospital. Her talk was followed by tours of small groups of members and guests through the spectacular new hospital.
Following the tours, we were treated to lunch courtesy of the hospital. Our board meeting, always full of interesting reports and updates, followed.
A highlight of the afternoon was the presentation of the 2026 ARCS Light Award to Janis Henry. In presenting the award, 2024 ARCS Light Leslie Petter said that Janis is “the epitome of an ARCS Light - always professional, conscientious, and a pleasure to work with, quick to credit others, reluctant to draw attention to her own accomplishments, and someone who does every job to the highest standards.”
