Atrium Health Confirms Open Date for N. Charlotte Medical Complex
Atrium Health is installing equipment into its new hospital in Cornelius and expects to begin accepting patients summer of 2025. Atrium Health Lake Norman will include an intensive care unit, operating rooms, a full-time emergency department and maternity services, among other operations.
Atrium Health Lake Norman’s first phase will include the 38-bed, 170,000-square-foot hospital and a 72,000-square-foot medical office building. The hospital will employ over 282 people. The Charlotte Business Journal reports the $255 million project is expected to be followed by surrounding mixed-use development.
The hospital is being built on around 36 acres of the nearly 100 acres the company owns at Westmoreland Road and US Highway 21. Atrium will work with development partners for a mix of uses on the rest of the site.
The Charlotte healthcare provider is planning an eventual second phase there with another medical office building and an additional hospital wing as well.
