Financial considerations behind the closure Why did Wellstar close such a high-performing hospital? Because it wasn't high-performing when it came to making money. Wellstar Atlanta reported that 16% of its operating expenses went to uncompensated care, far higher than the national median of 3%.

Last year, Wellstar Health System announced it was closing the 450-bed AMC in the heart of Atlanta and Atlanta Medical Center South in East Point due to a decline in revenue, a move that also resulted in the closure or relocation of several doctors' offices in Atlanta and the south metro area.

In the 15-page civil rights complaint, the lawmakers allege that Wellstar violated Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which states that any program that accepts federal funding cannot discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national origin.

After months of talks, the largest metro Atlanta health systems, WellStar and Emory University, opted not to merge WellStar announced last week. WellStar has five hospitals in northwest metro Atlanta, including WellStar Paulding and Kennestone Regional Medical Center in Marietta.

Wellstar Health System's closing of Atlanta Medical Center last November citing "revenue losses" came with devastating effects on the surrounding community, and accusations of 'healthcare redlining' in light of its recent $800 million merger with Augusta University Health System.
