Grady-Emory phone dialing changes
The five-digit dialing system utilized between Emory and Grady Health System since 1973 has been removed.
As of June 4, callers no longer have the ability to dial between Grady and Emory units, using five digits. Now, callers must dial 9, the area code, the exchange and the four-digit extension.
The growth of each institution caused the conflict between the plans, constricting the range of numbers that could be called using just five digits.
From Emory, callers dialing a number in the 5-xxxx range will get a recording with instructions on the new procedure.
