Giving Back

A philanthropic program named for Discovery Point’s co-founder, the late Diane Clark. Each year, Discovery Point childcare centers partner with local charities in honor of Clark, and each center encourages its community to contribute. The official charity drive for Diane’s Devotion is a Back- to-School Supply/Backpack Drive that takes place annually at the beginning of the school year.

Additional charitable efforts:

• Angel Tree
• North Gwinnett Co-Op
• Foster Care Support
• Women’s Shelters
• Local Food Banks

Discovery Point is proud to partner with Gwinnett Medical Center to help produce the “Sports Medicine and Concussion Care-A-Van.” This mobile concussion care unit is the first of its kind. It travels to sports leagues, park centers, child care centers, and family events to provide baseline concussion testing that aids in proper diagnosis and treatment in the event of a head injury. The Care-A-Van’s primary mission is to provide education, prevention, proper diagnosis, and treatment. As primary sponsor of the project, Discovery Point’s contribution helped to expedite the completion of the renovation – 9 months from start to finish.

Cliff Clark, President and CEO of Discovery Point Franchising, decided to honor his late wife, Diane by making a multi-year lead gift to name Northside Gwinnett hospital’s new patient simulation, education and safety center after Diane.

The space provides simulator rooms designed for a variety of practical settings found in the hospital, such as a labor and delivery room, an emergency department trauma room, a medical-surgical department room, an operating room, and a critical care room.
