Northside Health System Multi-Campus Master Plan

Driven by one of the fastest growing population rates in the country, a robust expansion will be required to enable both the Northside Forsyth and the Cherokee campuses to support their future community healthcare needs. While the Northside system leaders embraced this need for expansion, they also recognized that the evolution of the two campuses, including potential future bed towers, must be in sync with system-wide brand promise of clinical excellence, without sacrificing community expectations grounded in a personalized, family-centered hospital experience that patients have come to expect when they choose either Forsyth or Cherokee Hospital to receive care.
Northside Cherokee: The master plan effort at the Northside Cherokee campus centered around a new patient tower and incorporates expansion options for all ancillary and support services necessary to meet the needs of the growing community. Key elements of the master plan include increasing inpatient capacity, increasing diagnostics and treatment capabilities, continuing the successful connectivity of the campus, and right-sizing support services to accommodate the new patient tower while maintaining existing views of the surrounding area and visibility from the main road.
Northside Forsyth: The master plan effort at the Northside Forsyth campus involved looking at several areas of focus simultaneously to develop the framework for a thoughtfully zoned campus including inpatient capacity, accompanying diagnostic and treatment capabilities, proportional support services, future medical office building(s), parking availability and connectivity, administration and education spaces, and technologic innovation. As the campus continues to expand, a core tenet was to ensure the ability to get where you need to go no matter how you enter the facility, and the on-stage/off-stage separation among others– into any new construction.
