Emory to manage Southern Regional

By
Sept 17, 2012

Emory Healthcare will take over management of Southern Regional Health System next month, under an agreement announced Monday. The system includes Southern Regional Medical Center, a 331-bed hospital in Riverdale.

While Emory will take over management of Southern Regional, ownership of the hospital will not change.

“Our community expects the best, and they deserve it,” said Jim Crissey, Southern Regional’s president and CEO. “Adding Southern Regional into the Emory network of hospitals delivers on that expectation.”

The agreement takes effect Oct. 1.
