BROOKHAVEN, GA. — Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) has unveiled plans to build a new pediatric hospital in the Atlanta suburb of Brookhaven. CHOA’s total investment in the new hospital will be between $1 billion and $1.3 billion, according to the company. After construction of the new hospital is complete, CHOA will cease operations at the inpatient facility at Egleston Hospital in Atlanta. Future plans for the use of the Egleston campus have not been determined. The new project will join a medical campus at North Druid Hills Road and I-85 that will also include CHOA’s previously announced Center for Advanced Pediatrics. Construction of that 260,000-square-foot outpatient facility began last month. Based on studies of future demand and facility capacity, CHOA believes that the new, 45-acre campus will be able to meet forecasted patient care and space needs through 2026. Specific transportation, site and building plans for the campus will be developed over the next 18 months. The area is quickly becoming a new medical corridor for suburban Atlanta, as Emory Healthcare and the Atlanta Hawks unveiled plans for a nearby $50 million training and sports medicine center last year. —Kristin Hiller
