Children’s Healthcare Takes First Step In Seeking Ga. Permit For New Complex

Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has taken its first step toward state approval of its plan for a $1.5 billion North Druid Hills campus.

It would be the largest hospital construction plan, in terms of cost, in the history of the Georgia certificate-of-need (CON) program, experts say.

The pediatric care organization recently filed a letter of intent to apply for a state permit, or CON, to build a new hospital on a campus at I-85 and North Druid Hills Road in the Atlanta suburb of Brookhaven.
