Atlanta residents who were born at Grady Memorial Hospital often say “I’m a Grady baby” as a point of pride, especially in a city where so many individuals are transplants from other cities in Georgia and elsewhere.

There is even a book, titled “I’m a Grady Baby” and written by Shelia P. Moses, about people born there, and a “Grady Baby” rap song by Shawdy Raw.
