STORY 1:     Gwinnett DA's Office Child Fatality Review Committee named best in Georgia 

State law enforcement officials are praising Gwinnett County's Child Fatality Review Committee for its outstanding work in improving child safety policies. The Georgia Bureau of Investigation named the committee, part of the Gwinnett District Attorney’s Office, as the 2025 CFR Committee of the Year. The team, which includes law enforcement, healthcare, educators, and social services, reviews child fatality cases to identify patterns and enhance safety measures. Gwinnett DA Patsy Austin-Gatson expressed gratitude for the collaborative efforts that led to this recognition. The GBI highlighted the committee’s excellence in multidisciplinary work and accountability, setting a statewide standard for child safety initiatives. 

STORY 2:   Piedmont Eastside Continues Lunch & Learn Series with Focus on Cardiac Emergencies 

Piedmont Eastside recently hosted a Lunch and Learn event for Gwinnett County Fire and Emergency Services first responders, focusing on emergency cardiac care. Held at Fire Station No. 12 in Snellville, the session featured a lecture by Cardiac Interventionalist Dr. David Casey, followed by a Q&A with Piedmont Eastside’s ED leadership. Attendees enjoyed a taco and fajita bar and participated in a Jeopardy-style game with fun facts about Piedmont Healthcare, with winners receiving T-shirts. The event is part of an ongoing series aimed at enhancing EMS education and collaboration with Piedmont physicians.
