The plight of financially-strapped Grady has highlighted the desperate condition of trauma care in Georgia: The state has 15 hospitals prepared to handle the most severe injuries. But as the Trauma Care Network Commission prepares to divide the one-time infusion of cash, providers have made it clear that they are suffering as well, and they want their fair share.
