Children's Healthcare of Atlanta (Children's) Arthur M. Blank Hospital is a 446-bed children's hospital, slated to open September 29, 2024. Located at the northeastern corner of North Druid Hills and I-85 in Brookhaven, Georgia, the 19-story Arthur M. Blank Hospital will be a Level I Trauma Center and provide many clinical services. There also will be space for clinical research, clinical trials and overall patient care.[1][2]

The hospital will provide comprehensive pediatric specialties and subspecialties to infants, children, teens, and young adults. Its regional pediatric intensive-care unit and neonatal intensive care units will serve the Atlanta and greater Georgia region. The hospital will also have helipads to transport critically ill patients to and from the hospital.[3][4]

After the hospital opens, inpatients from Egleston Hospital, as well as patients within the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at Scottish Rite Hospital, will be transferred over to the new hospital. Hughes Spalding Hospital and Scottish Rite Hospital will both remain open to serve the community.[5][6][7]

Arthur M. Blank Hospital is the largest healthcare project ever in the history of the state.[8]

History

Children's announced its plans to include a pediatric hospital at its new campus at North Druid Hills Road, Feb. 9, 2017.[9][10][11]

Arthur M. Blank Hospital and the attached South Tower with outpatient clinics will join the Center for Advanced Pediatrics, a Support Center and more than 20 acres of greenspace at Children’s North Druid Hills Campus.[1][12]

In 2020, the project received a $200 million donation from the Arthur M. Blank Family Foundation, the largest donation in Children's history. It is also the single largest naming gift to a freestanding pediatric hospital.[13][14][15][16][17][18]

In January 2020, Georgia Power Foundation made a $15 million donation to help with construction of the new campus.[19][20][21][22][23]

The area will also see another project grow in close proximity, as Emory University creates a “health innovation district” in Executive Park.[24][25]

Construction Updates

In early 2020, workers started clearing the land that would be used to construct Arthur M. Blank Hospital.[26][27]

Arthur M. Blank Hospital will be a 2 million-square-foot facility, including two 19-story inpatient towers and the South Tower at Arthur M. Blank Hospital which will house the Aflac Cancer and Blood Disorders Center, Transplant and Heart Center Clinics, Infusion Center, outpatient phlebotomy and family education classrooms.[28][15] Arthur M. Blank Hospital will provide 446 licensed beds, of which 70% will be dedicated to critical care and specialty services. It will also welcome 600 fellows and residents, with access to innovative technological enhancements for research and training. The entire campus will incorporate 20 acres of greenspace and walking trails for patients, families and employees.[1]

In May 2022, construction crews completed the highest point of the building's structure.[29][30]

In November 2023, Children’s announced that Arthur M. Blank Hospital will open September 29, 2024.[31]
