The consolidation between Atlanta Medical Center and South Fulton Medical Center in East Point, Ga., into one hospital on two campuses became effective Jan. 1.
The consolidation began developing last spring. Both hospitals were looking for long-term stability through integration. The Georgia Department of Community Health issued a licensing permit recognizing Atlanta Medical Center as a 762-bed acute-care hospital, which was needed for the merger to finalize.
Atlanta Medical Center will now have one campus in Atlanta — its original campus — and one in East Point, Ga., which was previously South Fulton's campus.
Atlanta Medical Center is owned by Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare.
