The transfer of Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital from its old politically-appointed board to a new non-profit model was made official Monday with the signing of a lease and transfer agreement. The lease agreement is targeted to begin on May 1st. The meeting of the Grady board yesterday also brought a commitment of 200-million dollars from the Robert W. Woodruff Foundation. The money will help pay for needed infrastructure costs for the financially-troubled Level-1 trauma hospital.
