Atlanta has become a regional powerhouse for outpatient surgeries and specialty procedures, thanks to the rapid expansion of four major healthcare providers: Northside Hospital, Piedmont, Emory, and Wellstar. These systems have developed sprawling campuses across metro Atlanta — from Alpharetta to Austell, Gainesville to Fayetteville — bringing world-class care to more corners of North Georgia than ever before.
But with that growth comes complexity: patients are often referred to facilities far from home or family, without a trusted adult available to accompany them — especially when procedures involve sedation, anesthesia, or strict discharge protocols.
That’s where MyFredy comes in.
What is a Medical Escort?
A medical escort is a professional companion who meets the discharge requirements many Atlanta providers now enforce: a trusted adult who checks in with you, stays on-site during your procedure, and ensures your safe return home. Most hospitals and surgical centers — especially those within Northside, Emory, Wellstar, and Piedmont systems — require this person to be present and available throughout the entire process.
MyFredy team members are trained, punctual, and discreet. We cover transportation, check-in support, on-site waiting, and recovery coordination — providing peace of mind for patients and providers alike.
