Emory University

Hello everyone, I'm Susan Van Aacken. After 26 incredible years of service with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, I’m thrilled to share the next chapter of my journey—a deeply personal and purposeful endeavor close to my heart.

Starting this fall, I will be bringing the Ohio-based Mom Company, Lauren Helps U, to Emory University. As an Atlanta native with lifelong ties to this institution, I’m honored to help expand this trusted service—designed especially with out-of-state parents in mind—into a city and university community I know and love.

My connection to Emory began as a high school student, when I was a juror in the Emory Law School case competitions and later attended professional training on campus in various roles for the CDC. I’ve mentored Emory students pursuing healthcare and public health careers.

We strive to EXCEED our clients' expectations and we look forward to connecting with U!
