New Northside Cherokee Opens May 6 In Canton

CANTON, GA -- Northside Hospital on Monday formally announced its long awaited replacement hospital in Canton will open in less than two months.

Northside Hospital Cherokee will open for patients on Saturday, May 6.

Located at 450 Northside Cherokee Boulevard, the facility is easily accessible off the S.R. 20 interchange -- Exit 19 -- on Interstate 575.

“This is a huge move forward for Cherokee county and the surrounding areas,” said Billy Hayes, CEO of Northside Hospital Cherokee. “Our new hospital is the culmination of a lot of hard work by many people over many years. The entire Northside Cherokee family is proud of what we’ve accomplished, and we look forward to a new era of health care service.”

Construction is complete on the new hospital, which 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.

Northside is planning an open house for late April to give the public a chance to tour the new hospital campus before patients are moved and accepted there on May 6.
