Children's HealthCare of Atlanta - Amanda's Employer

Amanda sent me the following release and I wanted to share it. I think Amanda is very lucky to be working at Children's.

I’m pleased to let you know that, for the fourth year in a row, Fortune magazine has recognized Children’s as one of America’s “100 Best Companies to Work For.”

Children’s is one of three companies with headquarters in Georgia selected and the highest ranked pediatric hospital on the list. Landing at No. 67, Children’s also received special recognition for being a top company for women, placing fourth in a sub-category for percentage of women. In addition, Children's was ranked as having the 17th most diverse workforce.

Fortune evaluated organizations from across the country—more than 81,000 employees from 353 companies responded to the survey nationwide—to identify the top 100 companies for this list. One of the world’s top business magazines, Fortune measured Children’s against some of the most well-known, highly respected brands and companies in America, including Microsoft, Publix Super Markets and Google.

Right on the heels of our Parents magazine ranking, this recognition reinforces that Children’s is a great place for kids and a great place to work. We are proud to be acknowledged as the kind of place where people with strength and passion for their jobs can do what they love to do—give that special kind of care to the patients and families we serve—and thrive in the kind of environment that helps them be all they can be both personally and professionally.

Three Dogs

Three Dogs

All the pups in the Mills’ household
Are pampered and live the life of royalty.
They dine from fine designer bowls
Filled with morsels to enhance their beauty!

All three canines are very high maintenance
Requiring trips every six weeks to Bark Avenue.
Getting their locks and nails snipped in our absence
Returning home to flaunt their new “DO”!

Kolle thinks she is Marie Sharapova
Chasing tennis balls with a vengeance.
Bringing them back to Doug over and over
As he continues to throw them into the distance!

Charkee believes she is Marion Jones
Sprinting like a greyhound around the grounds.
Daring the others to chase her into unknown zones
Before collapsing from her many rounds!

Kami thinks she’s Sherlock Holmes
Loving to run, sniff, explore, and dig.
Hoping to find one of her many bones
So she can chew on it like a little pig!

These little creatures love Cape San Blas
Running and romping in the water and sand.
Not worrying about the future or the past
Just enjoying the moment and thinking life’s grand!

We all got together at the camphouse over the holidays and had almost as many four-legged animals there as we did two-legged. I guess Cotton (Alice's little white kitten) was the only one that wasn't with us. Below are some pictures of our crew.
