Mercer University’s South ern School of Pharmacy in Atlanta will relocate from its present position on Walton Street to a $40 million Atlanta Medical Center to be constructed in the future. The announcements of the plans for the medical center, which is to be built around the Georgia Baptist Hospital, were announced Dec. 18 by Dr. A. Hamblin Letton, chief of staff of the hospital and president of the center. The construction of the pharmacy school will be among the first units in the development which will give Georgia the most comprehen sive medical center in the Southeast. Other units will include the Scottish Rite Hospital for Crippled Children, a doctor’s building, addition of a wing to the hospital, rehabilitation center and facilities for ear, nose and throat treatment. Also in the planning is an ex panded treatment center for cancer, a division of women and children’s disease, a bum center, a trauma center and facilities for physical and psychological evaluations. Groundbreaking for the first unit of the center, a Pro fessional Building to be owned by 30 doctors, has been scheduled for next month. This will be followed in the spring by the pharmacy school’s $2 million building which will incorporate one of the most modern animal rooms in the country for con ducting research. A large portion of South ern Pharmacy’s new building will be given to housing an ex tensive pharmaceutical library. There will be space for com puters. Dr. Oliver M. Little john, dean of the pharmacy school, said computerized in formation can be uaed effec tively in health treatment. “We hope to set up a state wide network which will en able doctors to know what drugs patients are taking, or have been prescribed for them, to avoid chemical con flict. Doctors need to know exactly what chemical reac tions may be expected with today’s sophisticated drugs, a knowledge available to trained pharmacists,” he said. Construction of the new pharmacy school is expected to be completed in September of 1971. The center will be located in a nine-block area (five to six acres) in the Boulevard- Forrest area within a few blocks of Interstates 75, 85 and 20 interchanges. Dr. Letton announced to more than 150 persons repre senting the medical profession and other interests that the center will enable the Georgia Baptist Hospital “to offer the best of medical care to the moat people possible ” The hospital already has announced plans to expand the 478 beds to 700 with the building of a wing costing $11 million. The hospital’s School of Nursing is the third largest in the "nited States with 500 students.
