Grady Health System
Grady Health System was the vision of Henry W. Grady, editor of the "Atlanta Constitution," who worried about the lack of quality health care for Atlanta's poor. In 1892 his extraordinary dream came true when the doors to Grady Hospital were officially opened. Since that time, Grady Health System has grown considerably from its original three stories, 110-bed facility - and now stands as one of the largest public health systems in the United States.Grady Health System.
