The Wellstar Atlanta Medical Center closure significantly threatens our O4W community and sustainable economy. With the potential loss of hundreds of employees comes the loss of hundreds of customers served by our unique and remarkable small business community.

Furthermore, hospitals are a pivotal component of community revitalization. We lose resources and much need attention and care for our beloved O4W community.

We are a community, and as a community, we all need one another.
