(AP) -- Officials at Atlanta's Grady Memorial Hospital say they plan to create four new community health "super centers." 

Grady CEO Michael Young says he hopes the new centers will offer patients a wider array of services, draw more paying patients, and keep people from seeking everyday care in Grady's emergency room. 

The super centers will be located in north Fulton County, south Fulton County, southeast DeKalb County and the east side of Atlanta. 

Grady also says it's going to continue to operate two neighborhood health centers that were slated for closure.

The hospital had drawn criticism for the planned closings, and one DeKalb County commissioner had threatened to cut the county's funding for the hospital.
