Every young patient who visited Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Forsyth on Friday got to leave with a shiny red, green or blue balloon.The helium-filled treats were given out to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the 20,000-square-foot outpatient facility at The Avenue Forsyth on Peachtree Parkway.Linda Cole, Children’s vice president of ambulatory and emergency services, said it was hard to believe the children’s medical center has been open a year.“We feel very grateful to the community that has embraced us and [for] the partnership we have with the community and with the other nonprofits in the community,” Cole said. On Friday, the facility received a $7,500 donation from the Sawnee-Cumming Optimist Club as a result of its inaugural golf tournament May 11. Cole said the gift is one of many the nonprofit facility has received since its opening.
