Southwest Atlanta Hospital

Southwest Hospital and Medical Center was a hospital located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, and dates its origin to the early 1940s. In 1940, a group of Catholic laywomen, under the direction of the local bishop, established a recreational center for African Americans known as the Colored Mission Center. The following year, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church and the Society of Catholic Medical Missionaries established the Catholic Colored Clinic in response to the lack of adequate medical care in southwest Atlanta. The Catholic Colored Clinic provided free services, and its physicians, most of whom were non-Catholic, volunteered their time. It later became known as the Holy Family Hospital before becoming a secular institution.
