Patient:
“LOVE LOVE LOVE the new lobby for the kids. It really did need a redo, and the new science theme is great!!!!!!!!”
Lori Mills, Manager of Practice Operations at St. Vincent Medical Group:
“Thank you ACS! Parents and kids have raved about the “new look” in our lobby. The interactive items are a big hit with all ages and I see adults “reading the walls”…that’s what we hoped would happen. We thank you and your team for doing such an amazing job of enlightening our “big and little” Michigan Road visitors about how fun science can be!”
Georgia Section Member Demographics in 2009:
2000 members: 75% belong to ~350 chemical businesses
