Cocobay Casual Wear Donates 100 Pairs of Sandals to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

ALPHARETTA, Ga. - Aug. 19, 2013 - PRLog -- Casual vacation-wear provider Cocobay Casual Wear (http://www.cocobaycasualwear.com) recently donated 100 pairs of sandals and flip-flops to Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to help pediatric patients in need. Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta provides a wide array of pediatric medical services including emergency facilities, autism care, rehabilitation and surgical services. Given the scope and breadth of their services they care for a variety of pediatric patients from all types of social and economic backgrounds. The sandal donation will help to provide children and families with new footwear that they would otherwise not benefit from within the scope of services from the hospital.

According to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (http://www.cocobaycasualwear.com/blogs/news) website, only six percent of hospital emergency departments are fully equipped to care for children. In the state of Georgia, the children’s hospital is the only one that treats kids and teens exclusively making it a highly sought after institution for medical support. Their care system encourages that patients are surrounded by their families to help focus on the spiritual and emotional needs of children and their caretakers. “Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta is known for treating the whole child and family – tending to their mental, developmental, spiritual and emotional needs,” said Christopher Morrison, CEO of Cocobay Casual Wear. “Our sandal contribution fills a need that lies outside those parameters yet benefits children and their families.”

Chris’ wife Melissa, an Atlanta nurse practitioner and co-owner of Cocobay, has a soft spot for children’s health and was responsible for forming the relationship with the hospital. “The hospital truly provides world-class care to its patients, which made it all the more rewarding when we were given the opportunity to help by donating sandals and flip-flops to all those great kids.”
