Grady Health System announced on Wednesday plans to build a medical center campus in Union City, a complex that addresses a hospital desert that has existed for years in south Fulton County.

Grady is partnering with Fulton County to add a more than $1 billion hospital facility to Union City, designed to fill a gap in health care after Wellstar Health System closed two hospitals in the county in 2022.

This story has been updated to show that Grady Health System will be working in partnership with Fulton County.

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — The Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted to move forward on the new Grady South hospital in South Fulton County. The vote comes as Grady Health System announces new leadership.

“I would say the earnest pencil paper, get this thing figured out, has been two years,” said Grady Health System CEO John Haupert of the new Grady South, which is now one step closer to becoming a reality in South Fulton County.

“They’ve been waiting for years and years and years for a hospital that they have paid for, that they deserve,” said Fulton County Commission Chairman Robb Pitts on Wednesday.

There has been a search for a solution to the healthcare desert in South Fulton after Atlanta Medical Center closed two campuses starting in 2022.

Grady, with Fulton County, built a free-standing ER set to open in the coming months. They’ll open a medical office building in 2028. Wednesday’s vote is one step closer to bringing this $900 million hospital in 2031.

It’s a hospital that Morehouse School of Medicine pushed to be part of.

“We welcome the idea to have discussions with our partners of what’s the right rotation of residents and fellows at the South Fulton campus,” said Grady Health System President and COO Anthony Saul.

TRENDING STORIES:

And the news of Grady South is at the same time as a new leader for Grady Health System.

John Haupert, who has been President and CEO for 15, is retiring. Current COO Anthony Saul is now President and COO. Saul will take over as CEO when Haupert steps down in January of 2027.

“This was of course my decision, and it’s time with the whole new campus of Grady. The evolution needs to be hand in hand with a new senior leader,” said Haupert.

“Growing up in a small-town Louisiana, we had access to care challenges as well. Our nearest hospital was an hour away, so I saw firsthand early on that access is important,” said Saul.

“Ensuring that we enhance access, that we increase the service to the community and we part of the healthcare solutions is my goal for Grady,” added Saul.

The $900 million campus will be paid for by $300 million in county bonds, $300 from Grady Health System and the last third from donors.

Grady South is expected to add 2,000 jobs.

Morehouse School of Medicine sent Channel 2 Action News the following statement:

Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) is pleased that the Fulton County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously in their regular meeting, March 18, 2026, in support of an amendment to a resolution approving a new south Fulton hospital that confirms MSM students will receive clinical training at the new facility. Morehouse School of Medicine is fully supportive of the new hospital which will help to address the dearth of healthcare options in south Fulton County.

In partnership with the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and EY, Morehouse School of Medicine conducted an in-depth study in 2023 that identified a healthcare desert in central and south Fulton. We believe the new south Fulton hospital is a major first step in helping to improve healthcare service delivery in that part of the county. However, the research from Project Care also showed that the Fulton County region between the proposed Union City hospital site and Grady is where there is the greatest disease burden, and makes it clear that area needs an ambulatory healthcare network comprised of clinics, imaging facilities, physicians offices and other services to expand the choice of healthcare options for residents.

Morehouse School of Medicine stands ready to fill this need—building a future where accessible, high-quality ambulatory care is not a privilege, but a promise for every community we serve.

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. - Members of Pleasant Hill Victory AME Church say someone illegally dumped more than a hundred tires on their property earlier this month, with some of the tires damaging graves in the church's historic cemetery.

What we know:

The discovery was made on March 4 at the church along Stonewall Tell Road.

Church leaders say the cemetery, which dates back about a century, is meant to be a place of peace and remembrance for generations of families buried there.

Pastor Lola Russell said more than 100 tires had been dumped across the cemetery grounds.

What they're saying:

"It's disturbing that in the times we live, people do not care or a person does not care about the sacredness, the sanctity of life and the transition to death, which we all will face one day," said Russell.

She had a message for whoever was responsible.

"You did something very wrong, and it felt even evil to us. It felt very sad. But I don't know what kind of challenges you're going through," Russell said.

The illegal dumping struck a painful chord for the congregation, Russell said, because of the long history of the church and the families buried there.

After the incident was shared on social media, someone in the community stepped forward and removed the tires at no cost.

"One, sad, bad, criminal deed has turned into a tremendous blessing to remind us that there are still some people in the world who are more than good," Russell said.

While the tires have now been removed, Russell said some graves were damaged when the tires were dumped.

The church has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help repair the damaged graves and install additional security measures, including cameras.

"We want to make sure we know, to the best of our ability, to take some preventive measures to make sure that it doesn't happen again," Russell said.

The fundraiser has raised more than $4,500 so far, and Russell said the community response has helped lift the congregation's spirits.

What we don't know:

The individual who dumped the tires has not been identified.

The Source: This is a FOX 5 original report where Tyler Fingert spoke with Pastor Lola Russell of Pleasant Hill Victory AME Church.

SOUTH FULTON, Ga. — Dozens of tires are strewn among headstones in the cemetery at a small church in South Fulton.

Channel 2’s Michael Doudna went to Pleasant Hill Victory AME Church on Friday where there were piles of tires stacked several feet high.

Pastor Lola Russell said that under one particularly large pile lies four or five graves.

"If can’t trust that they’re going to be at peace in a cemetery, what can I trust?" Russell asked.

Congregation members say the tires only started appearing earlier this week, and they don’t understand how someone can disrespect these final resting places.

“Our ancestors, whether they are related to us or others, are still on these grounds," Russell said.

The building on Stonewall Tell Road has been a church site for nearly 100 years. Before that, the building was a one-room schoolhouse for Black students dating back to the 1910s.

But Russell says this graveyard full of history has been turned into a dumping ground.

“We as a people, we’ve got to be better than this,” she said.

TRENDING STORIES:

The small congregation says they do not know who did it, but the cost of clean-up now falls on them.

“Now it’s going to cost someone else because of what you did,” Russell said.

She says they are trying to figure out the next steps and are praying for grace, but she has a message for those who left the tires behind.

“Did you think about your own life, your own family member, your mother, your grandfather, whoever you may have lost in your family, and the same thing being done to them?” she said.

If the person who tossed the tires is caught, they could be required to pay for the removal, face fines and possibly jail time. If not, it will be the congregation’s responsibility.

They have started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money to remove the tires and restore the cemetery.
