Piedmont plans to build a relocation hospital for Piedmont Newton Hospital, located in Covington, GA, at a cost of nearly $600 million, all of which will be borne by Piedmont. The existing hospital is licensed for 128 beds but is currently limited by its aging and landlocked physical plant.
This will be the second-largest capital project in the organization’s history, after the Marcus Tower opened on its Piedmont Atlanta Hospital campus in 2020. In addition to this project, Piedmont has invested nearly $2 billion into expansion projects in the communities it serves over the past five years.
Piedmont partnered with Newton Medical Center to form Piedmont Newton in 2015. Like many community and rural hospitals across the country at that time, Newton Medical Center had struggled to remain financially sustainable. Piedmont has since invested $70 million into expanding services in the community and into the hospital facility itself, which was built in 1954. Newton County is located 35 miles east of Atlanta.
