Piedmont Hospital

Piedmont Hospital is a major hospital in northeast Atlanta, Georgia. It was founded in 1905, and is in the Buckhead area on Peachtree Road at Collier Road.

Piedmont hospital was mentioned by Newt Gingrich in the congressional newspaper The Hill in December 2006. Mr. Gingrich indicated that both Piedmont Hospital and PeaceHealth of Eugene, Oregon had the two best "digital" healthcare information systems in the United States.

Three other hospitals in and near metro Atlanta were affiliated with and are now owned by Piedmont Healthcare. The 35-bed Mountainside Medical Center, now Piedmont Mountainside Hospital since June 2004, is located along Georgia 515 near Jasper, Georgia. The 100-bed Fayette Community Hospital opened in Fayetteville, Georgia in September 1997, and became Piedmont Fayette Hospital in November 2004. Piedmont agreed to buy 143-bed Newnan Hospital in Newnan, Georgia in January 2006, and finalized the deal in May 2006, making it Piedmont Newnan Hospital.
