ICYMI: Northside Cherokee Opens New Hospital May 6

CANTON, GA -- The long-running dream and project to build a new, state-of-the-art hospital in Cherokee County has finally become a reality.

That's because the new Northside Hospital-Cherokee will open its doors at 450 Northside Cherokee Boulevard on Saturday, May 6.

The emergency room sign unveiling, set for 5 a.m. will mark the official opening of the 440,000-square-foot building and start of the eight-hour transition of patients, staff and equipment from the current facility at 201 Hospital Road.

Northside Hospital-Cherokee will open with 105 in-patient beds and more than twice the square footage as the current hospital. Northside staff is now focused on training and education, while overseeing the installations of equipment and furniture.

A medical office building opened on the 50-acre campus in early January. Several physician practices and Northside Hospital Radiation Oncology have opened their offices and are seeing patients. Additional Northside services and physicians will move into the building over the next several months.

An open house was held April 22 to give the public a chance to tour the new hospital campus, an even that attracted about 3,000 attendees, a Northside Hospital spokesperson said.
