Paul Milliken from Fox 5 on Good Day Atlanta visits Camp Sunshine’s first in-person program in more than a year.
If you know anything about Camp Sunshine, you know it’s more than just a camp. Offering programs for Georgia youth with cancer and their families, a week at camp is a time when kids can focus on something other than their medical treatments and connect with others dealing with a similar set of circumstances. Paul talks to threee nurses volunteering at the first in-person program in over a year. All three have decades of service at Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and also as nurses volunteering for Camp . Thank you for all you do.
