Atrium and Morehouse Plan a $700M-Plus Atlanta Care Network

Atrium Health and Morehouse School of Medicine announced on August 21 that they are moving forward with a teaching hospital at 675 Metropolitan Parkway SW and a wider primary, urgent and specialty-care network. Atrium says it will commit more than $700 million in capital and clinical investment. The organizations describe the hospital as approved to move forward, but their announcement does not identify the approving authority or exact procedural action, so this packet does not characterize it as a final city approval.

Atrium Health and Morehouse School of Medicine announced on August 21 that they are moving forward with a teaching hospital at 675 Metropolitan Parkway SW and a wider primary, urgent and specialty-care network. Atrium says it will commit more than $700 million in capital and clinical investment.

The organizations describe the hospital as approved to move forward, but their announcement does not identify the approving authority or exact procedural action, so this packet does not characterize it as a final city approval. The plan would restore hospital and emergency-care capacity to part of Atlanta after Atlanta Medical Center and Atlanta Medical Center South closed in 2022.

The hospital is planned to open with about 50 beds and could expand to more than 700 beds over time, while the broader network is intended to serve Central and South Fulton County.

BeltLine Starts Northwest Trail Segment 3B

Construction has started on Atlanta BeltLine Northwest Trail Segment 3B, a nearly one-mile link from Trabert Avenue to Tanyard Creek Park. The route will bridge Northside Drive, pass through Atlanta Technology Center and under I-75, connecting five northwest Atlanta neighborhoods to the completed Segment 3A and Northside Trail. Atlanta BeltLine lists late fall 2028 as the expected opening.
