DeKalb Medical officially became a part of the Emory Healthcare system on Sept. 1, 2018. Partnership celebrations for employees, local leaders and government officials were held on Sept. 14 at each of the three DeKalb Medical locations, along with unveilings of new hospital signs at each facility.
As part of the integration, DeKalb Medical’s hospital on North Decatur Road is now named Emory Decatur Hospital; DeKalb Medical Hillandale is now Emory Hillandale Hospital; and DeKalb Medical Long-Term Acute Care at Downtown Decatur is named Emory Long-Term Acute Care.
