Grady gets boost for '08 budget

Financially-troubled Grady Hospital in Atlanta has received a boost, but not as much as officials had hoped for. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports the state Department of Community Health will distribute 5.4 million dollars more for next year’s budget than this year. However, the amount is still much less than received in 2006. The federal funds for 2008 are expected to total about 73-million dollars. That is down from the 91-million amount in 2006. Grady is one of a handful of level-one trauma care centers in the state.
