Emory GYN/OB At Grady
Since first opening in 1892, Grady Memorial Hospital has been committed to providing quality care to the city of Atlanta’s most vulnerable population. Grady is one of the largest public hospitals in the southeast and is an internationally recognized teaching hospital. In fact, Emory University School of Medicine began sending medical students to Grady in the early 1900s. Today, almost all doctors at Grady are either faculty or residents from Emory or Morehouse School of Medicine.
The Emory Department of Gynecology & Obstetrics has had a presence at Grady since the early 1900s. Today, the Department provides full scope obstetric and gynecologic services to Grady’s patients. Obstetric care is coordinated and provided for both routine and high-risk pregnancies. Both faculty and residents are in-house for Labor and Delivery coverage 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Additionally, our service has a Nurse Midwifery division that practices in four of the Grady Neighborhood Health Centers, the clinics at Grady, as well as inpatient services on the labor and delivery, OB triage, and postpartum units. The Nurse Midwives facilitate group prenatal care, called Centering, as well.
