SOUTH FULTON, GA — Fulton County officials vote on a funding plan to bring much-needed new medical care to metro Atlanta.
Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. says the farther south of Atlanta you go, the fewer medical options there are.
“Frankly, what we are experiencing in South Fulton, its not just a healthcare desert, its an emergency care desert,” Arrington Jr. said.
A new freestanding ER opens in Union City on June 2. Arrington Jr. says Grady just approved building a new hospital in South Fulton within a decade.
