|Body= [[Battey State Hospital]] was first established in 1943 as a temporary Army General Hospital to deal with the large number of wounded soldiers. It was named after Dr. Robert Battey, a physician who built a successful practice and was key in advancing medical treatment in Rome, Georgia. However, in 1946, the state negotiated and took over the hospital from the federal government. Georgia turned the facility into a 2000-bed tuberculosis sanatorium. During this period, the state was experiencing a surge of TB cases. Locally around the hospital, there had been 2,534 newly reported cases. The site was renamed to Battey State Hospital. By 1967, the state considered the site for additional health services. Then, in 1971, construction had started on a mental health unit. That same year, mentally disabled residents at Gracewood State School and Hospital were transferred to Battey.
