@bluestein This may be out of your bailiwick but I don't know who else to contact.
Wellstar's closing downtown reminded me of Atlanta's long history of medical care.

When I was at GSU in the 70's there was an "infirmary" or dorm for nurses on Piedmont that was later closed. I was aware because I met someone at GSU who had a room there.

That was used in the past a couple of times but apparently is no longer available.
