Piedmont Healthcare, Inc. v. Georgia Department of Human Resources

Barnes, Judge.

Piedmont Healthcare, Inc. seeks to consolidate the separate hospital permits of Piedmont Hospital, Inc. and Fayette Community Hospital, Inc. into a single permit. This court granted Piedmont Healthcare’s application for discretionary review of the superior court order, which affirmed the administrative decisions to deny the request. Two hospitals and two radiation oncology service providers who intervened at the administrative level filed a cross-appeal, contending that this appeal is moot. The appeal is not moot, and for the reasons that follow, we affirm the trial court.
