Gainesville-based Northeast Georgia Health System said this week that it will provide an emergency department and a number of inpatient beds on the site of the former Chestatee Regional Hospital, which closed last July. That is expected to be a prelude to a new replacement hospital, also in Lumpkin County, which is envisioned to open in 2022.

Northeast Georgia Health System plans to open a scaled-down hospital in July on the site of a closed facility in Dahlonega.

The Gainesville-based organization said this week that it will provide an emergency department and a number of inpatient beds on the site of the former Chestatee Regional Hospital, which closed last July.

That operation is expected to be a prelude to a new replacement hospital, also in Lumpkin County, which is envisioned to open in 2022. That facility would be located along Ga. 400, a highway from Atlanta that ends just outside Dahlonega.
