Changes at Grady
July 11, 2007 at 3:40 pm by Mara Shalhoup in NewsOn 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.
