Atrium wants to build a full fledge hospital in Harrisburg more than likely on their land next to existing ER facility on Rocky River Road.

""This week, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services announced that Atrium, operating as the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Hospital Authority, filed a certificate-of-need application for a new satellite hospital in Harrisburg. It would cost $85.8 million and be completed in December 2025, the state said.  The project, called Atrium Health Harrisburg, calls for the relocation of 24 acute-care beds and an operating room from Atrium Health Cabarrus. The relocation of a fixed magnetic resonance imaging scanner from Atrium Health MRI would be included at the Harrisburg hospital as well.""

Who remembers when Atrium University was built in the middle of nowhere?? Haha

That "nowhere" has been discussed occasionally here. It was Green Acres, the county home for aged and indigent. See here:

In my earliest years here I recall driving past that intersection of two rural roads and seeing the large home on the rise with a few individuals outside. Residents raised as much of their food as possible with the help of a few farm animals and an animal or two was also visible. There are several burying grounds for those now forgotten in that area including at the  public library location and on UNCC campus between football stadium and baseball field. Mostly depressions in the earth with a few simple stones among the growth. Such history is within living memory.
