A shot in the arm for children's health in Atlanta. Interview by Kathryn Taylor.
Three years ago, Atlanta's Scottish Rite Children's Medical Center began a statewide children's immunization program. The success of that program has encouraged other community organizations to model themselves after Scottish Rite's, including a similar initiative launched by The Atlanta Project (TAP). The medical center lent its expertise--and that of senior vice president Judson L. Hawk Jr., M.D.--to TAP. Staff Editor Kathryn Taylor recently spoke to Hawk about his three-year stint as senior adviser for children's issues at TAP, and his role in developing an immunization program for the Atlanta area.
