(ATLANTA) - The Marcus Foundation Friday announced a $20 million gift to Grady Health System to improve emergency care to trauma and acute neurological injury victims throughout Georgia.
The gift will enable Grady to expand hospital space for trauma and brain injury victims and improve time-dependent therapies for stroke and acute neurological emergencies. The new facilities will be named The Marcus Stroke & Neuroscience Center at Grady and The Marcus Trauma Center at Grady.
The project involves renovating existing hospital space to expand Grady's Trauma Center capacity from four to six dedicated trauma bays. Patients could then be transferred for two to ten days of care in a new 20-bed Neuro Intensive Care Unit.
This hospital has been on the list of Desperate Hospitals more than once and in the news quite a bit as well.
There have been a few CEOs and the hospital last year was on the brink of having to close, but luckily through donations the hospital is still here. Kaiser last year also donated 5 million. BD
