Tanner Health is taking bold steps to improve access to care in west Georgia and improve the comfort and experience of patients on its Carrollton campus.
Tanner is building a new, three-story patient tower at Tanner Medical Center/Carrollton. The almost 97,000-square-foot expansion is being built atop the hospital’s emergency department.
The project will ensure bed space is available for those in our community who need it, reducing congestion in our emergency departments and ensuring a better of care and a better patient experience for years to come.
This page will be updated as access to our Carrollton hospital campus changes to make sure our patients, visitors and staff are informed.
