Our History
Emory University Hospital's tradition of healing dates back almost a century. In March 1904, our predecessor, Wesley Memorial Hospital, was chartered with 50 beds. The hospital was housed in a downtown Atlanta mansion that had been spared from destruction by General Sherman's army during the Civil War.
By November 1922, the hospital had grown too large for its quarters and moved to its current DeKalb County site on the Emory University campus. The new 275-bed facility was a gift of Asa G. Candler, philanthropist, and founder of The Coca-Cola Company.
In the mid-1930s, our name was changed to Emory University Hospital. The university and the hospital bear the name of Bishop John Emory, who presided at a meeting of the Georgia Methodist Conference in 1834 when delegates decided to establish a Methodist college in Georgia.
Emory University Hospital is continuously expanding. With the arrival of the Hospital Tower on the Clifton Campus, Emory expands services and expert care, while creating an integrated, welcoming, and spacious environment for patients and their families. The 450,000-square-foot facility will join Emory University Hospital via a two-story bridge crossing Clifton Road.

TOP important and interesting reviews from patients
- I was transported to Emory's ER from another hospital - from the minute I was wheeled through the doors of the ER, i was greeted with a very capable team which was extremely professional, friendly and took great care with ensuring I was comfortable and treated - top notch! I had to be seen in several different sections of the hospital and each person in those sections was very friendly and ensured I received the best possible testing and treatment - a true culture of patient first at all levels!
- I've been a patient of Emory Healthcare System for 22 yrs, as a heart failure patient. I can say that the doctors, nurses, researchers and staff have provided excellent health-care and service.
The past 5+ yrs has been with the Transplant-LVAD TEAM. It has been an exceptional experience. I'm thankful for my amazng team and this journey for life!
- I had to go to the radiology department here. And is just inside the door from where the valet parking section is it was a very easy to see it's the first thing on that same floor. Easy to check in very nice waiting room. Seems like it's laid out in the very easy way to maneuver. Easy access for anyone who's disabled or in a wheelchair. The elevators are very close to the main entrance. And Clifton Cafe it's a delicious restaurant on the second floor.
