History

Northside Hospital Atlanta (in Sandy Springs) opened in 1970. The original facility had 250 beds and has since been expanded to 621 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 126-bed hospital and two medical office buildings 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 304 beds.

On August 28, 2019, Northside Hospital and Gwinnett Health System completed plans to combine their operations. Northside Hospital Gwinnett (formerly Gwinnett Medical Center-Lawrenceville) and Northside Hospital Duluth (formerly Gwinnett Medical Center-Duluth) have a combined 553 beds.
