We’re proud to share that Southern Family Medicine has been selected to participate in the Kids Alliance for Better Care (KidsABC), a statewide rural pediatric health initiative led by Mercer University School of Medicine and the Georgia Rural Health Innovation Center, with support from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.

This program is designed to expand and strengthen pediatric care in rural communities, keeping care close to home for our children and families here in Evans County. Through KidsABC, our providers will have increased access to pediatric sub-specialists via Telehealth, enhanced physician-to-physician consultation, and ongoing training and continuing education. All aimed at improving outcomes for rural kids.

KidsABC also supports mental and behavioral health services, emergency care collaboration, and reduces the need for families to travel long distances for specialty care. We’re honored to be part of a growing network of rural practices across Georgia working together to ensure children receive high-quality care right where they live.

💙 Better care. Closer to home. Stronger rural health.
