The Winship Cancer Institute

In 1937, Coca-Cola CEO Robert Winship Woodruff founded Winship Cancer Institute with a generous gift to Emory. The center was named after his grandfather as a way of honoring his mother who lost her battle to cancer. His mission was that no one would need to leave Georgia for the best cancer treatment. In its first year of operation, Winship treated 168 patients. Today, Winship sees more than 14,000 patients a year.

Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University is the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in Georgia and one of only 69 in the country. This means that Georgians have improved access to clinical trials and resources available only at designated cancer centers. Only 1.3 percent have achieved this NCI accreditation of over 5,000 national cancer centers. This designation requires effective collaboration among interdisciplinary teams throughout Emory and other organizations in the Southeast and the United States. These efforts reinforce their commitment to their community and those that EHC is privileged to serve.

Mission

The mission of the Winship Cancer Institute is to lessen the burden of cancer for the citizens of Georgia through aligning its outstanding cancer research and education initiatives with its significant cancer prevention and cancer care efforts.

Core Values

THE LOCATION

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

Atlanta is an outstanding place to live and work. Located in the geographic center of the Southeast, the area is the nation's 9th largest metropolitan area and home to the world's most traveled airport. The city of Atlanta is home to more than 463,000 people and over 5.7million reside in the Atlanta metro area. Atlanta is a regional, national and global center for business operations of all kinds - from headquarters to life sciences, from distribution centers to traditional manufacturing.

Atlanta is a city that offers thousands of cultural, recreation and nightlife opportunities every weekend. The local art scene thrives on the diversity of the population, and you are bound to find gallery, theatre or festival openings occurring daily. Atlantans also take advantage of the weather by enjoying outdoor activities like biking, running, golfing and hiking in the Appalachians year-round. Atlanta's nightlife offers some of the top names in rock, soul, R&B and even country music started out playing in Atlanta's clubs.

Atlanta attracts more newcomers to the area than any other metro area in the nation. In fact, two-thirds of metro Atlanta's annual population increase is due to in-migration. The attraction to the area is both the promise of easy access to numerous renowned colleges and universities and the draw of stimulating employment opportunities. With a wide variety of affordable housing options and neighborhoods to choose from, matching your needs with your wants is definitely possible. Other Atlanta advantages cited by newcomers and business leaders include the low cost of living, high quality of life, pro-business climate and easy access to direct route transportation anywhere on the globe through Hartsfield Atlanta International Airport.

Atlanta serves as the regional, national, or global headquarters for many corporations. Atlanta contains the country's third largest concentration of Fortune 500 companies, and the city is the global headquarters of corporations such as The Coca-Cola Company, The Home Depot, Delta Air Lines, AT&T Mobility, UPS, and Newell-Rubbermaid. Over 75 percent of Fortune 1000 companies conduct business operations in the Atlanta metropolitan area, and the region hosts offices of about 1,250 multinational corporations. Many corporations are drawn to by the city's educated workforce; as of 2010, nearly 43% of adults in the city of Atlanta have college degrees, compared to 27% in the nation as a whole.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has served as a key engine of Atlanta's economic growth. Delta Air Lines, the city's largest employer and the metro area's third largest, operates the world's largest airline hub at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and has helped make Hartsfield-Jackson the world's busiest airport, both in terms of passenger traffic and aircraft operations. Partly due to the airport, Atlanta has become a hub for diplomatic missions; as of 2012, the city contains 25 general consulates, the seventh-highest concentration of diplomatic missions in the United States.

Media is also an important aspect of Atlanta's economy. The city is a major cable television programming center. Ted Turner established the headquarters of both the Cable News Network (CNN) and the Turner Broadcasting System (TBS) in Atlanta. Cox Enterprises, the country's third-largest cable television service and the publisher of over a dozen major American newspapers, is headquartered in the city. The Weather Channel, owned by NBC Universal, Bain Capital, and The Blackstone Group, is headquartered just outside of Atlanta in Cobb County.

Information technology, an economic sector that includes publishing, software development, entertainment and data processing has garnered a larger percentage of Atlanta's economic output. Indeed, Atlanta has been nicknamed the Silicon peach due to its burgeoning technology sector. As of 2013, Atlanta contains the fourth-largest concentration of information technology jobs in the United States, numbering 85,000. Atlanta also ranks as the sixth-fastest growing city for information technology jobs, with an employment growth of 4.8% in 2012 and a three-year growth near 9%, or 16,000 jobs. Information technology companies are drawn to Atlanta's lower costs and educated workforce.

Largely due to a state-wide tax incentive enacted in 2005, the Georgia Entertainment Industry Investment Act, which awards qualified productions a transferable income tax credit of 20% of all in-state costs for film and television investments of $500,000 or more, Atlanta has become a center for film and television production. Film and television production facilities in Atlanta include Turner Studios, Pinewood Studios (Pinewood Atlanta), Tyler Perry Studios, Williams Street Productions, and the EUE/Screen Gems soundstages. Film and television production injected $1 billion into Georgia's economy in 2010, with Atlanta garnering most of the projects.

Atlanta is home to professional franchises for four major team sports: the Atlanta Braves of Major League Baseball, the Atlanta Hawks of the National Basketball Association, the Atlanta Falcons of the National Football League, and Atlanta United

FC of the Major League Soccer League. Atlanta has been the host city for various international, professional and collegiate sporting events.

Atlanta, while located in the South, has a culture that is no longer strictly Southern. This is due to a large population of migrants from other parts of the U.S., in addition to many recent immigrants to the U.S. who have made the metropolitan area their home, establishing Atlanta as the cultural and economic hub of an increasingly multi-cultural metropolitan area. Thus, although traditional Southern culture is part of Atlanta's cultural fabric, it is the backdrop to one of the nation's most cosmopolitan cities. This unique cultural combination reveals itself in the arts district of Midtown, the new and growing cool the quirky neighborhoods on the city's eastside, and the multi-ethnic enclaves found along Buford Highway. Within the 285 beltway around Atlanta, there are many neighborhoods catering to various interests whether it be raising a family, the arts, sports, etc.
