The state of Georgia is set to allocate $130 million to Grady Health System in an effort to help the hospital prepare for an influx of patients with the closing of the Atlanta Medical Center (AMC).

The onetime funding comes from federal dollars given to Georgia through the American Rescue Plan that Democrats passed last year.

The money is set to help Grady permanently add 180 beds by the end of next year.
