We're proud to share that our founder and CEO, Cammie Wolf Rice, has been named one of this year's Most Admired CEOs by the Atlanta Business Chronicle.

The timing could not be more serendipitous. Years ago, Cammie sat down with Donna Hyland, president and CEO of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA), who is being honored this year with the Lifetime Achievement Award. Donna shared how effective the Child Life Specialist role had been for CHOA's young patients, but pointed out there was nothing like it for patients admitted to general or adult hospitals. That conversation was the spark for the Life Care Specialist model, to help fill the gaps that Cammie and Christopher had faced. From that idea came a pilot program at Grady Memorial Hospital. From that pilot came a Harvard Business School case study. From Life Care Specialists in one hospital to nine and counting across Georgia and Arkansas, this recognition reflects the evolution of the LCS program and the ongoing need for this kind of role. Congratulations to Cammie, Donna, and all of this year's Most Admired CEOs. #CWCAlliance #MostAdmiredCEOs #OpioidPrevention #LifeCareSpecialist
