Atlanta hospital gets 30-bed mobile unit a state of emergency declared

The emergency declaration allows the state to use Georgia Emergency Management Agency funding to bring the mobile unit


Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp declared a state of emergency recently over flood damage at Grady, leading to the transfer of a 30-bed mobile unit to Grady Memorial Hospital in Atlanta, according to an article on the WABE website.

The emergency declaration allows the state to use Georgia Emergency Management Agency funding to bring the mobile unit.
