The hospital was housed in a downtown Atlanta mansion that had been spared from destruction by General Sherman’s army during the Civil War.

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 new Hospital Tower on 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.
