Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta closed
Egleston Hospital on Sept. 29, using 65
ambulances to move 202 patients into the
brand-new Arthur M. Blank Hospital on
North Druid Hills Road.
The move began at 7:30 a.m. and
lasted for 12 hours, as anticipated.
Brithany Morales, 8, was the first
patient to leave Egleston Hospital and be
transported to Arthur M. Blank Hospital.
The 19-story, 2-million-square-foot
facility with 446 beds expands Children’s
Healthcare’s ability to provide advanced
pediatric care to children across Georgia
and the Southeast.
The transport of patients relied on
coordination with more than 15 state
and local agencies, including Georgia
State Patrol and the following four
police departments that helped along the
move route: Brookhaven Police, DeKalb
County Police, Emory Police and Sandy
Springs Police. Religious organizations
ummm
n#
along the move route held virtual services
throughout the weekend to help ensure the
safe transport of all patients.
Approximately 1,000 support staff
volunteers were on-site at the hospitals to
assist with patient family needs.
