Since the tragedy at Northside Medical Midtown on May 3, Northside Hospital has been working across many areas to help affected employees and patients. Two of the shooting victims being treated at Grady Memorial Hospital are Northside employees who work at the Laureate Medical Group.
Earlier today, most practices at Northside Medical Midtown officially reopened. The Laureate Medical Group offices at the building remain closed today while Laureate finalizes preparations to resume patient care. Laureate has been communicating updates to its patients and staff throughout the weekend.
Employees and physicians are returning to the facility — reuniting under a heavy cloud of grief yet resuming their important services to their patients and their families. They are being greeted by additional uniformed security officers, Northside spiritual leaders, human resources representatives, and behavioral and spiritual health counselors. Physicians are encouraged to participate in a peer-to-peer support service, also being provided at Northside Midtown. The Caring for the Caregiver Support Group will be onsite and activated this Wednesday, May 10.
Northside's Spiritual Health team has been onsite at Grady to provide comfort and counseling to the victims' families.
The Northside Hospital Foundation has been coordinating outreach efforts directed to the victims and their families. The Foundation also has established a fund to support those affected by the Northside Medical Midtown events.

Since last Wednesday, Northside and Laureate have received a steady stream of support from countless friends, neighbors, business colleagues, and government officials.
And last Friday, Northsiders and people around the Atlanta region paused during the “Day of Reflection,” and remembered the victims of the May 3rd attack.
