Atrium Health Union West is the first newly built hospital in the Charlotte area in more than 30 years.

By HFT Staff


Atrium Health Union West opened in February, making it the health system’s first new hospital in the Charlotte area in more than 30 years. 

Atrium Health saw the necessity for the hospital as the area’s population increased over the last decade. With the closest Atrium Health hospitals located in Monroe and Charlotte – often making for an inconvenient drive for those seeking care – providing healthcare close to home became an important need to serve local patients. 

In January 2020, the system broke ground on the 150,000 –square- foot facility. It is opening with 40 licensed beds, a 24/7 emergency department with a helipad, three operating rooms and a maternity care unit with c-section capability. 

An adjoining medical plaza opened in January. Patients will be able to access specialty care at the Sanger Heart and Vascular Institute, Levine Cancer Institute, the Charlotte Radiology Breast Center, Urology Specialists of the Carolinas, in addition to specialists in endocrinology, gastroenterology and hepatology, obstetrics and gynecology, pulmonology and sleep medicine. 

The construction of Atrium Health Union West is a large part of the Atrium Health growth plan, which includes more than $1 billion in capital expenditures Atrium Health committed to invest back in 2018.
