Tyler Perry Kicks Off National Hospital Week At Grady Hospital

ATLANTA, GA — To kick off National Hospital Week on Monday, hundreds of gourmet meals were delivered to Grady Memorial Hospital by Tyler Perry’s Atlanta-based studio staff.

The food was prepared by Atlanta celebrity chef Elliot Farmer, also a Grady baby, reports several news outlets.

“We are absolutely astounded by the generosity and kindness of the Tyler Perry Studios staff. To do something this special for our frontline care providers and support staff makes this year’s hospital week celebration extraordinary,” said Lindsay Caulfield, Grady’s Chief Experience Officer. “We are humbled and honored by their support.”

The Atlanta media mogul has a track record for good deeds. Recently, Perry picked up the tab for seniors at 44 different Kroger locations. Shoppers weren't told what was happening until they got ready to check out. In April, Perry surprised out-of-work employees at Houston’s with a tip, that totaled $21,000.
