Northside Hospital Forsyth has submitted plans for a new expansion that will include adding an additional two stories and 43 medical surgical short-stay care beds at the hospital. On Monday, Jan. 6, the hospital submitted a certificate of need application to the Georgia Department of Health for the expansion, which is expected to cost about $43 million. The expansion will bring the hospital, already the tallest building in Forsyth county, to 10 stories. The state will give a decision within 120 days.
