Cumming, Ga.-based Northside Hospital Forsyth has submitted plans to Georgia's Department of Community Health to expand its hospital outpatient departments in a $13.5 million project, according to the Atlanta Business Chronicle.
Northside Hospital Forsyth's plans include building out and equipping its outpatient departments in a medical building on its campus.
The whole Northside system is undergoing renovations. The Atlanta Business Chronicle reported in May that the health system is investing more than $381 million into upgrading its three hospitals and other facilities.
This year, Northside has filed four letters of intent with the Department of Community Health, beginning with $67 million plans to renovate its main campus in "Pill Hill," in Atlanta, which involves the addition of three floors. It filed $2.1 million plans to replace an MRI unit on the main campus and $5.6 million plans to replace MRI and CT units at Northside Hospital-Cherokee in Canton, Ga., according to the report. The Department of Community Health approved all of these plans. The department is still considering plans filed in November for Northside to add 37 medical-surgical hospital beds at its Forsyth hospital.
