Grady Health System is one of the largest public health systems in the United States – and includes Grady Memorial Hospital, nine neighborhood health centers, the only level Ι trauma center in the region and the largest nursing facility in the state, Crestview Health & Rehabilitation Center.

Grady has a nationally acclaimed burn unit and diabetes center, a 24-hour Comprehensive Sickle Cell Center and the Georgia Cancer Center for Excellence. The state’s only Poison Center is housed at Grady, and Grady Emergency Medical Service is the ambulance provider for the city of Atlanta.

Grady is an internationally recognized teaching hospital, staffed exclusively by physicians from Emory University and Morehouse schools of medicine. Twenty-five percent of all physicians practicing medicine in Georgia today received some or all of their training at Grady.

Grady’s Infectious Disease Program is the largest publicly funded program of its kind in the eastern United States and is consistently named one of the top three HIV/AIDS outpatient clinics in the country. Other unique services include Grady’s certified Primary Stroke Center, ambulatory medicine and urgent care centers, a dedicated 60 Plus service line for older adults, a regional perinatal center and a neonatal intensive care unit.

The Henry W. Grady Health System Foundation was formed in 1993 to help fund Grady’s remarkable scope of medical services. Moreover, Grady Health System is one of Atlanta’s largest downtown employers, generating more than $1.6 billion for the Atlanta economy.
