Dr. Maxey served as MAG’s president in 2000-2001, and she is MAG’s representative on The Physicians Foundation’s Board of Directors. The board-certified pediatrician is the president and owner of the Atlanta Children’s Clinical Center, P.C. Dr. Maxey graduated from the Medical College of Georgia, and she completed her residency at the Emory University Affiliated Hospitals.
Dr. Zeanah has focused on behavioral pediatrics since 2016, and she started a non-profit to “provide needed services not covered by insurance or Medicaid to compliment her multidisciplinary practice.” She attended the Mercer University School of Medicine, and she completed her residency in general pediatrics at the University of Florida Shands Hospital and Wolfson Children’s Hospital in Jacksonville. 
It is worth noting that The Physicians Foundation has supported the GPLA with grants totaling nearly $400,000.
