Grady Memorial Hospital has often been among the first to implement new medical technology. The hospital's most notable achievements include performing the state's first open-heart surgery in 1921, opening the world's first cancer center in 1923, and acquiring the earliest dialysis and X-ray machines. Grady Hospital's original building, shown here in 1952, was re-purposed when the hospital built new structures for white and Black patients in 1912.
