Grady Health System

Since Grady first opened in 1892, we have continually reinvented ourselves to meet the region’s evolving medical needs.

Whatever the need, Grady fulfills it – even as we continue to raise the bar for medical care in the region. The world’s leading physicians come to Grady to practice here, teach here and save patients whose conditions are beyond the capabilities of other hospitals.

You may know Grady as one of the nation’s best trauma centers. We save people who’ve been severely hurt in car accidents, industrial mishaps, and other trauma incidents, 24/7. But there’s another side to us. The side that heals disease, cares for burns, corrects injuries, treats sniffles.

Whatever the need, Grady fulfills it – even as we continue to raise the bar for medical care in the region. The world’s leading physicians come to Grady to practice here, teach here, and save patients whose conditions are beyond the capabilities of other hospitals.

But at Grady, we do more than save lives. We give our patients the chance to live them to the fullest.
