Welcome to the home of Peachtree Immediate Care and Physicians Immediate Med! If you believe your life is at risk, please call 911 or go to the Emergency Room; however, our urgent care centers can typically handle all non-life threatening medical issues. The benefits of urgent care over the ER typically include lower overall cost, lower co-pays, closer to home, and much shorter wait times. All of our centers offer experienced clinical teams as well as a digital x-ray system and an on-site lab to help diagnose and treat a wide range of illnesses, injuries, and health issues. From sore throats and broken bones to physicals and minor surgeries, we can help! Our urgent care clinics are locally owned and operated and we offer more locations in Atlanta than any other. Open 7 days a week and with extended hours, our goal for patients is to "Get in. Get out. Get Better!" We accept most insurance plans and walk-ins are always welcome, so call or stop in today!

What is ILD? ILD is a varied group of lung diseases, many of which result in permanent scarring or "fibrosis" of the lung tissue. There are nearly 200 distinct diseases, though only a handful of them are common. While some are known to result from exposure to hazardous substances in the environment (eg, asbestos, coal, and tobacco smoke), often no identifiable cause can be attributed to the development of the disease (termed idiopathic). Lung fibrosis can also be a feature of connective tissue diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis, Scleroderma and certain forms of vasculitis. Treatment options and prognosis vary dramatically by cause, thus a thorough evaluation is integral to: 1. Confirming the diagnosis. 2. Identifying the cause. 3. Formulating an effective treatment plan. These crucial tasks are the main focus of our program, and are accomplished through collaboration with the departments of Pathology, Radiology and Thoracic Surgery.

In 1928, Henrietta Egleston Hospital for Children opened in the Old Fourth Ward east of downtown Atlanta at 640 Forrest Avenue (now Ralph McGill Blvd.). It opened with the financial support of Thomas R. Egleston Jr. In the first year the 52-bed facility was open, 605 children were treated.HistoryThe original hospital site was on the north side of Forrest Avenue on the east side of Fortune St. . Today the AMLI Parkside apartments occupy the site.The hospital contained the original Dolly Blalock Black Memorial Garden, dedicated to Elizabeth "Dolly" Blalock, wife of Eugene R. Black, Sr., president of the World Bank.In the 1950s Egleston became the pediatric teaching hospital affiliate for the Emory University School of Medicine, and in 1959 relocated to the university's campus.In 1959 the Atlanta Housing Authority purchased the Forrest Avenue site and planned a 350-unit complex there, which Black groups had argued for to relieve overcrowding in the Sweet Auburn area to the west. White homeowners complained that this would mean Black encroachment eastwards, and so City Council aldermen refused rezone the site, offering instead to clean up the Buttermilk Bottom slum.In 1987 the hospital opens a medical-psychiatric unit. Today the unit is one of only six university affiliated units especially for children in the United States.
