Emory Healthcare has launched a new Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic at Emory Hillandale Hospital in Stonecrest, Georgia. The clinic is located in suite 245 of the hospital’s professional office building and aims to increase access to general gynecology and obstetrics care for the local community.

According to Jen Schuck, CEO of Emory Decatur Hospital, Emory Hillandale Hospital, and Emory Long-Term Acute Care Hospital, “The opening of our Gynecology and Obstetrics Clinic at Emory Hillandale Hospital is more than an expansion — it’s a reflection of our deep commitment to the evolving health care needs of the Stonecrest and South DeKalb communities. Our dedicated team at Emory Hillandale is proud to offer compassionate, high-quality care that’s not only coordinated and comprehensive, but also rooted in building lasting relationships with the people we serve.”

The clinic provides preventive care, routine prenatal and post-pregnancy visits and exams, family planning services, surgical education after pregnancy, evaluation and treatment for benign conditions such as menstrual disorders, fibroids, pelvic pain, as well as minor interventions like IUD insertion and endometrial biopsy.

While most surgeries at Emory Hillandale will continue to be outpatient-focused, the clinic connects patients with Emory’s inpatient and specialty services throughout metro Atlanta. John Horton, MD, vice chair of clinical affairs for Emory’s Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics said: “We’re thrilled to bring high-quality and accessible GYN/OB care into the heart of the Stonecrest community. This clinic isn’t just about convenience — it’s about creating a trusted space where women can access expert care throughout every stage of life. With deep ties to Emory’s broader network, we’re here to support, empower and walk alongside our patients offering compassionate, coordinated care.”

Dr. Horton works alongside Victoria L. Green, MD—associate chief medical and quality officer for Emory Hillandale Hospital—to provide comprehensive services on a rotating basis at the new clinic. Both are professors in the Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics at Emory School of Medicine.

Victoria Green added: “Dr. Horton and I bring decades of combined experience in women’s health, and we’re honored to serve a community that has long deserved greater access to GYN/OB care. This clinic is a labor of love — a place where patients can feel seen, supported and cared for by providers who understand and value their journey. We are proud to be part of this exciting new chapter for Stonecrest and Emory Hillandale Hospital.”

Additional physician recruitment is ongoing. A nurse practitioner currently serves patients at the clinic; plans are underway to add another nurse practitioner in January 2026.

Emory Hillandale Hospital recently underwent renovations in 2023 that included upgrades such as new intensive care unit rooms, enhancements to its emergency department with additional treatment rooms, redesigned spaces aimed at improving patient care efficiency and transfers. The hospital offers various services including surgery, orthopedics, emergency care, heart and vascular services, outpatient rehabilitation, women’s health services including a breast center—and radiology services. In 2025 it received The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval for Advanced Primary Stroke Center Certification.
