The residency programs are being shifted to other Wellstar hospitals pending ACGME approval. Core faculty will remain the same from what I've heard.
Although this is part of my health system, I am not commenting in an official capacity.
Grady is quick to point out that they are the safety net of Atlanta and criticize Wellstar for putting profits before serving the community, but Grady always fails to mention the millions of dollars in funding they receive for indigent care. One year they had to get $10 million from Fulton County just to make ends meet with their week's payroll (
Fulton commission to give Grady $10 million to meet payroll ). I never saw the county/city offer to help Wellstar with the indigent care or fund the hospital like they do with Grady.
Crap, the state gives Grady $3-5 million per year to operate a "Georgia Coordinating Center" that nobody uses that probably costs them less than $500k/year to operate.
