The facility will increase the hospital’s clinical capacity by 45 percent and operating room space by 25 percent, according to a news release shared with Becker’s. The extra space is critical following the November closure of Atlanta Medical Center, which made Grady the city’s sole level 1 trauma center.
The building spans 10 stories and 600,000 square feet. It is the health system’s largest investment in 30 years.
“The opening of Correll Pavilion ushers in a new era of healthcare for Grady Health System and the entire city of Atlanta,” John Haupert, Grady’s president and CEO, said in the release. “During a time when other health systems are closing their doors, this state-of-the-art facility symbolizes Grady’s unwavering commitment to improving the health of our community by continuing to invest in the people we are privileged to serve.”
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
