In the late 1960s, Dr. Lea Richmond spearheaded a committee that purchased more than 20 acres of land off Johnson Ferry Road in what is today Sandy Springs for the construction of a new, nonprofit hospital. Northside Hospital opened its doors in 1970. Nearly 50 years later, Richmond’s son is looking to spearhead a companion project: a 500K SF mixed-use medical oasis just down the street from his father’s successful co-creation.
