Grady CEO Michael Young said he hopes the new centers will offer a wider array of services, draw more paying patients and keep people from seeking everyday care in Grady’s ED.

Grady also has shelved plans to close two neighborhood health centers, after a county commissioner threatened to cut funding for the hospital if it did.
