News Changes at Grady
Posted by Mara Shalhoup on Wed, Jul 11, 2007 at 8:40 PM
On Friday, July 13, the Greater Grady Task Force will release its final recommendations for helping the beleaguered hospital get healthy.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported in late June that a draft of the recommendations, penned by a task force made up of local business leaders, called for a corporate-style shake-up:
The restructuring of the Grady board is perhaps the key recommendation in a new report issued Monday [June 25] on Grady, Atlanta's only Level I trauma center and primary training ground for the state's health-care workforce. ... The 17-member task force thinks any hope of getting more annual funding for the hospital -- including the possibility of state money -- hinges on reorganizing the Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority into a nonprofit.
Yet the creation of a nonprofit could be "politically challenging," the article continues, because it would wrest power from the Fulton County and DeKalb County commissions.
