HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. — A $50 million expansion project at Novant Health’s Huntersville Medical Center is nearly ready for patients after a year and a half of construction.
The project involves 60,000 square feet of additional space in a four-story tower with 44 new beds. It includes another operating room and two more beds for neonatal intensive care. Medical-surgical services are on the second floor. Mother and baby care is on the third floor.
A grand-opening event is scheduled for Friday. Patients will be admitted starting Monday.
“We’re trying to provide as many services for the people of Lake Norman as possible so they don’t have to go downtown,” said Mike Riley, president and chief operating officer of Huntersville Medical. “We want this to be a hub for most all your medical needs in the north market.”

The new tower brings the hospital up to 139 total beds. It is the largest expansion in the facility’s 15-year history.
