February 24, 2021 – Northeast Georgia Medical Center (Gainesville, GA) is moving forward on a new 11-story patient tower at its main campus, adjacent and attached to the main hospital building.
The project will cost an estimated $700 million, according to a letter of intent filed Feb. 22 with the Georgia Department of Community Health.
The plan would add 144 inpatient acute-care beds to Northeast Georgia Medical Center’s existing 557 beds, as well as new outpatient observation beds, relocation and expansion of the emergency department, expansion and minor renovation of surgical services including the addition of five operating rooms, relocation of the cardiac catheterization labs, expansion of food services, construction of a rooftop helipad, and a parking garage.
The hospital expects the tower to open as early as 2024.
The project would be the biggest healthcare expansion project in Georgia outside of Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s new $2 billion campus now under construction.
