Under an August Sky

Emory University Hospital Tower, which connects to the current hospital with a double-decker bridge across Clifton Road, is now taking patients. Opening fully this fall, it has more than 230 patient beds and will serve as a new home for cancer and transplant care, medical/surgical ICUs, and other diagnostic and treatment services. It even boasts a healthy new eatery—the Clifton Café

In preparation for its fall opening, the new Emory University Hospital Tower staged a day of trial runs in departments from admissions to imaging. Here, a "pregnant" mock patient has a fall on the escalator and medical staff responds on the double.
