Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center To Close | Where will over 200,000 Patients go? | Nurses React



Published
In Early September 2022, Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center announced that they would be closing their hospital doors in two months. This eliminates one of 2 Level I Trauma centers in the city of Atlanta, leaving only 3 for the entire state. Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center states that they are closing their doors due to financial losses that were too great to overcome. The Atlanta hospital closing served primarily low income patients and will leave a gaping hole in the healthcare Ecosystem of Atlanta, pushing the remaining level I Trauma Center Grady hospital into an even larger crisis than they are already in.
