Grady Health System Expands Access with New Facility
Grady Health System has just opened the Lee + White Outpatient Center, a significant step toward improving medical care access for residents in South Fulton. This facility reflects Grady's ongoing dedication to recognizing and addressing the healthcare needs of the community. With this new center, Grady further solidifies its role as a vital healthcare provider in the area.
A Positive Move for Community Health
As the demand for healthcare continues to increase, Grady Health System launched the Lee + White Outpatient Center to better serve local needs. Shannon Sale, Chief Strategy Officer at Grady, emphasized that this clinic is a strategic effort to bridge healthcare gaps in underserved regions. Grady has long collaborated with Fulton County to ensure high-quality care is accessible, allowing community members to receive essential services nearby.
Facility Features and Offered Services
The Lee + White facility spans 16,000 square feet, providing an array of services. These include primary care, geriatric services, orthopedic care, HIV treatment, and behavioral health services. With 20 exam rooms, an on-site pharmacy, and dedicated areas for mammography and X-rays, the center is well-equipped to deliver comprehensive medical care. The wide range of services available aims to meet the evolving healthcare demands of South Fulton residents, helping them lead healthier lives.
Building Community Partnerships
The opening of the Lee + White Outpatient Center follows last year’s launch of another outpatient facility on Cascade Road by Grady Health. Both centers were made possible thanks to significant financial backing from Fulton County and federal funding dedicated to enhancing healthcare access. Grady's leadership recognizes the essential role these facilities play in the local community.
Community Support and Trust
Chairman Robb Pitts stressed the importance of the new center for Fulton County residents, noting the trust they’ve placed in Grady as their healthcare partner for over a century. The Lee + White facility is expected to significantly improve healthcare access, reinforcing the reliability and quality Grady has represented in the community.
Looking Ahead: Enhancing Healthcare Access
Beyond the new outpatient centers, Grady Health is planning to launch a freestanding emergency department in Union City in the coming years.
