WellStar Puts Brakes on Emergency Department in Holly Springs

The company is holding off on a proposal to build a stand alone emergency department in the city limits.

WellStar Health System has put off plans to expand into Holly Springs. The company is not pursuing a proposal to build a free-standing emergency department on 62 acres on the southwest corner of Sixes Road and I-575. WellStar last month filed a letter of intent with Georgia Department of Community Health to build the proposed $21 million off-site emergency center, but did not proceed with filing a Certificate of Need review. The CON has to be filed 30 days after a letter of intent is filed with the department.  WellStar Spokesperson Keith Bowermaster said there's "no precedent" in Georgia for a free-standing emergency department to get the CON stamp of approval.  "We are very interested in this clinical model, but [we] elected to not file …

The Marietta-based health care system is eyeing the possibility of opening an off-site emergency center on Sixes Road near I-575.

WellStar Health System continues to explore its options to expand in Cherokee County. The company has filed a letter intent with the Georgia Department of Community Health to build a $21 million off-site emergency center on Sixes Road at Interstate 575.
