As one of the largest public hospitals in the Southeast and the nation, at Grady we hold a historic commitment to providing outstanding, personalized care to every patient, including Atlanta’s most underserved and vulnerable populations. Internationally recognized for our unparalleled trauma and emergency services, innovative stroke care, and premier Burn Center, we continue to raise the bar for medical care in the region, treating patients whose conditions are beyond the capabilities of other hospitals.

All Grady physicians come from Emory University School of Medicine and Morehouse School of Medicine and drive the clinical excellence, innovative research, and progressive medical education that are part of our vision to become the nation’s finest public academic healthcare system. The Grady-Emory partnership is vital for treating the thousands of patients passing through Grady’s doors each year, including 30,929 admissions, 141,693 emergency department visits, and over 620,000 outpatient visits. As our city continues its booming growth, our partnership strengthens as we care for more patients each day.
