The new Roswell Rotary Family Waiting Room at WellStar North Fulton Hospital is now open!

In 2021 during Terry Taylor’s presidency, Roswell Rotary embarked on the concept of using a portion of the proceeds from the Golf and Tennis Tournament to create a Community Impact Project that would go beyond the usual donations we make to many charities and non-profits in our community. For this first impact project, Roswell Rotary partnered with WellStar Health System to update the Family Waiting Room at WellStar North Fulton Hospital and to launch podcasts and videos designed to impact student and parent behavioral health.

The project kicked-off in February 2022 with an innovative Behavioral Health meeting including Rotarians, school counselors, board of education members, Fulton County Board of Health leadership, medical professionals, and Roswell Mayor to discuss innovative ways to address behavioral health of our youth that did not duplicate existing programs and resources.

Last fall we launched Phase 1, a five-episode series of Roswell Teen Talk Podcasts that address many of the stresses of high school life and ways to overcome them. This week at our meeting we launched Phase 2, the Video series. And on Thursday evening, we toured Phase 3, the new Roswell Rotary Family Waiting Room at WellStar North Fulton Hospital.
