Atlanta-based Northside Hospital opened its eight-story, 84-bed inpatient tower June 21.
The tower expands the hospital's bed count from 537 to 621 and adds capacity for oncology, blood and bone marrow transplant as well as for medical and surgical patients.
The expansion marks the first major construction project on Northside Hospital's Atlanta campus since 2007.
"Northside Hospital continues to see strong growth across many of our services, and this project was very important for us to continue to effectively and efficiently meet the health care demand in this area," said Steve Aslinger, director of facilities planning for Northside Hospital.
Several clinical areas, including Northside's labor and delivery suite and critical care unit, are being renovated. Those upgrades are slated for completion on 2019.
