History
[edit]Northside Hospital opened on July 6, 1970.[3] The hospital had 288 beds, 80 doctors, and around 400 employees.[4]
The hospital is owned by the Hospital Authority of Fulton County.[5]
In May 1999, Northside's Women's Center opened to the public.[6]
Northside Atlanta expanded in 2018 with the eight-story East Tower, which added 81 beds to the hospital's capacity. The new tower's patient pickup and dropoff motor lobby area features a mural by contemporary Atlanta artist Ryan Coleman.[2][7][8]
In 2023, Northside Atlanta became the first hospital in the country to receive a level IV verification from the Joint Commission's Maternal Levels of Care program.[1]
