Bringing vital healthcare back to south Fulton County; Meeting Georgia’s new State Librarian

View descriptionShare
 

Following the loss of two major hospitals in south Fulton County, multiple stakeholders have worked together in recent years to bring a fully operating hospital to the area. Phase one of Grady South is already completed, with a stand-alone emergency department in Union City. But there’s more work to be done for "a medical office building offering imaging services, a surgery center, specialty clinics, pharmacy services, rehabilitation, and a full floor dedicated to pediatric care provided by Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta." Fulton County Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. joins “Closer Look” to discuss what it took to get the center approved. Plus, as he prepares to leave the commission, he'll reflect on his time in office including accomplishments and ongoing challenges for the county, as well as his next chapter.

 

Also, Angela Stanley is Georgia’s new State Librarian and Vice Chancellor of Public Libraries for the University System of Georgia. We'll hear her vision re: strategic leadership for the nationally recognized Georgia Public Library Service (GPLS) and the Georgia Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (GLS), charting the future of library services statewide.
