I live here. Metro Atlanta has wayyy more than 4 hospitals. Grady is always a cluster. Overall plenty of medical facilities and resources here, believe me.
But nowadays we just run with whatever the news stories say around here ..
” Grady is always a cluster.”
So there is more to the Story. I wonder if New York City Medical facilities are badly run too.
I was the SC governor today, it appears SC has move ventilators for our population then New York does. I have to wonder if New York system was badly run.
Piedmont Hospital group with multiple locations is well known on the north side. Then there is Northside Hospital, too.
As of last year up here in Marietta, Wellstar Kennestone had 76 ICU beds. I think that has increased with the overbuilds.
Here is a list of the Wellstar Hospitals. I deleted those not in the metro area. There are fifteen more Urgent Care Centers for emergency use that would feed into these hospitals.

I've noted CBS is always looking and reporting anything they can sensationalize into a story to shock people with. As Nancy Pelosi said....'you've got to go to the extreme to get peoples attention".....otherwise the press won't cover you.
