Cynthiana, Kentucky
Rick Grimes is shot in the line of duty by a criminal and he is transported to Harrison Memorial Hospital for treatment. However due to the nature of the wound, Rick falls into a coma for about a month's time. Over the course of that month an outbreak occurs, which causes the dead to rise and devour people for food. The hospital is used as a treatment center but is overrun and Rick is left as the lone survivor. Walking the streets of Georgia, looking for his wife and son, he soon goes to his house, where he finds no sign of his wife and son.

Season 1
Rick awakens from his coma and falls out of bed, he calls for a nurse but no one comes to his aid. After gaining his strength back he starts to walk through the dilapidated and abandoned corridors of the hospital. He makes it to a nearby elevator and to his surprise a half-eaten corpse falls out, Rick tries calling for help, but nobody answers.

He soon comes across the cafeteria. When he came closer he noticed that the door to the cafeteria was blocked by a board, and the door read "DON'T OPEN DEAD INSIDE". He left soon after.

He then tries commandeering a vehicle from the hospital's car park, but finds them all locked. He then walks outside and heads back to his neighborhood in search of his family.

Lori also mentions that the hospital was supposed to stay operational after they left, but was seemingly abandoned only a week after they left for Atlanta. This indicates that the hospital, whether under the orders of the hospital administration or the military, was hastily evacuated, with many patients left behind who later died and reanimated during the initial breach of the hospital's perimeter.
