The consolidation began developing last spring. Both hospitals were looking for long-term stability through integration. The Georgia Department of Community Health issued a licensing permit recognizing Atlanta Medical Center as a 762-bed acute-care hospital, which was needed for the merger to finalize.
Atlanta Medical Center will now have one campus in Atlanta — its original campus — and one in East Point, Ga., which was previously South Fulton’s campus.
Atlanta Medical Center is owned by Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare.
