Five new primary care clinics and additional specialty services are coming soon to Fulton and DeKalb Counties as part of a newly negotiated agreement with Grady Health System.

Grady continues to expand its footprint across the metro area even as it handles a big influx of patients from two shuttered Wellstar Health System hospitals, previously located in Atlanta and East Point. 

Under the six-year, more than $60 million deal between Grady Memorial Hospital Corporation, Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority, Fulton County and DeKalb County, Grady plans to open five new neighborhood health centers. Two clinics will be located in Fulton County and three in Dekalb County.
