The American Cancer Society
Cancer is a widespread disease affecting millions of people throughout the state, the nation and the world. As the presenting sponsor of the Roswell Area Relay for Life, North Fulton Regional Hospital has taken a stand to find a cure. In addition to financially supporting this American Cancer Society event, the hospital successfully rallies a team made up of employees, physicians and volunteers to walk throughout the night of the event, which lasts 12 hours. Armed with tennis shoes and specially-made t-shirts, the team consists of both survivors and those interested in eradicating the disease…all out to stomp for a cure.

The Drake House
Emergencies and life crises are not limited to just a certain population; anyone could find themselves in need of emergency assistance. Established in 2004, The Drake House exists to provide emergency residential housing for women and their children in the North Fulton area. Residents at the Drake House participate in an empowerment program with the intent of providing stability and, eventually, self-sufficiency. North Fulton Regional Hospital is proud to provide support to such an organization with a mission to increase hope and quality of life for so many in the community.
