Two state Representatives want a closer look at the finances of troubled Grady Hospital in Atlanta. Marietta Republican Sharon Cooper and Evans Republican Ben Harbin sent a letter to other lawmakers seeking a full audit of public funds received by Grady. Grady is the state’s main trauma care hospital, but says it’s out of money and could close by the end of the year. The state legislature doesn’t have the authority to do a full audit, but the research will focus on state grants given to Grady. Lawmakers have scheduled a meeting on Grady’s future for next week.
