Happening in Fulton: Health Care Inequities Town Hall

April 24, 2024

Healthcare Inequities Town Hall was held at Wolf Creek Library. Hear more from District 5 Commissioner Marvin Arrington Jr. One of the things that we found out is that here in South Fulton County we have a healthcare desert and more specifically we have an emergency care desert. With the loss of the two WellStar hospitals the biggest thing you miss from a hospital is the emergency care that the hospital provides. But if you're suffering from a heart attack or a stroke, you need treatment immediately and having a hospital 50 miles away is better than having one 100 miles away. But it doesn't do you any good because the time that you need, the response in that you need the care in is within that first 10 to 15 minutes.
