Company History
Northside Hospital-Atlanta (in Sandy Springs) opened in 1970. The original facility had 250 beds and has since been expanded to 537 beds.
In 1997, Northside Hospital-Cherokee (in Canton) was created through an agreement between R.T. Jones Regional Hospital and Northside Hospital, Inc. On May 6, 2017, Northside Hospital-Cherokee moved to its brand new campus near I-575 at exit 19 (Ga. Hwy. 20), near the Canton Marketplace development. The campus includes a 105-bed hospital and medical office building with a Cancer Institute and a distinct Women's Center.
In 2002, Northside Hospital purchased the 41-bed Georgia Baptist Medical Center (in Cumming) and renamed it Northside Hospital-Forsyth. Since then, the facility has experienced continuous growth, expanding to 284 beds.
