The clinic will bring more primary and
specialty care to residents in South Fulton
ATLANTA, Sept. 17,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On Tuesday, Grady Health System
and Fulton County Government leaders held a ribbon-cutting to
celebrate the new Lee + White
Outpatient Center in Atlanta.
Lee + White is the latest of two new outpatient
centers Grady has opened south of
I-20 to help address the increased demand for improved access to
health resources.
"Grady has worked strategically
to identify areas that need better access to medical care, and our
new Lee + White location is another step toward filling
that gap," said Shannon Sale, Chief
Strategy Officer at Grady. "We are
grateful to Fulton County for its
continued partnership in our ongoing efforts to provide the
community with high-quality, comprehensive care closer to
home."
The 16,000-square-foot facility is located at 1000 White Street
at the Lee + White complex, a mixed-use development in
Atlanta's West End. The outpatient
center will offer primary, geriatric, and orthopedic care. HIV and
behavioral health services will also be available. The
facility features 20 exam rooms, an on-site pharmacy, two
mammography rooms, and X-ray and lab spaces.
"Meeting patients where they are is essential to improving their
quality of life," said Dr. Kelley
Carroll, Chief Ambulatory Officer at Grady. "This new center will give residents in
South Fulton easier access to a wide array of services to address
their growing medical needs and help them lead healthy lives."
Lee + White is the second of two new outpatient
centers Grady has opened in South
Fulton. Last summer, Grady opened
a center on Cascade Road. Both centers were funded by financial
support from Fulton County and
federal funding secured by Grady
to increase access to health care.
"The new Lee + White clinic will be instrumental in
increasing healthcare access for Fulton
County residents," said Chairman Robb Pitts. "The community knows that they can
rely on Grady for quality care,
and that's why they have been our healthcare partner for more than
a century."
In addition to Grady opening
its Lee + White and Cascade outpatient centers, a
freestanding emergency department is slated to open in Union City in 2026.
Grady's Lee + White Center will officially open on
September 23. Its hours of operation
will be Monday through Friday, 7:30 a.m. to
5 p.m.
