Hospital merger talks with Northside moving along well

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Gwinnett is in the “quiet period” when nothing is heard much about a possible merger between Gwinnett Medical Center and Northside Hospital. The parties are doing their due diligence before announcing if the merger will go forward, and under what terms.

FOCUS: Hospitals in merger discussions

By Beth Hardy | Northside Hospital and Gwinnett Medical Center have announced that they have approved a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) to begin exclusive discussions to combine their operations.

If a final agreement is reached, the merger would create a major health care system serving rapidly growing areas of the Atlanta Region and North Georgia. Anchored by Northside Hospital in Sandy Springs and Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, the system also would include hospitals in Canton, Cumming and Duluth, as well as cancer treatment centers, imaging centers, medical office buildings, urgent care centers and other outpatient locations throughout the state.
