Healthcare in Roswell

Learn moreWellstar North Fulton Hospital: a real Level II trauma center, with a disputed bed count
Wellstar North Fulton Hospital, at 3000 Hospital Boulevard in Roswell, is a not-for-profit community hospital serving north Fulton County and surrounding areas, designated as a Level II trauma center and a Level II emergency cardiac care center. Its bed count is cited inconsistently across sources -- 218 beds by the most recent comprehensive source reviewed, versus 178 and 167 beds cited elsewhere -- a real, disclosed disagreement this pass could not fully resolve; 218 is treated as the most current figure but should not be assumed precise without a direct hospital-system confirmation.
A Level II, not Level I, trauma designation -- what that means in practice
As a Level II (not Level I) trauma center, Wellstar North Fulton provides comprehensive trauma care for the large majority of cases but, for the highest-acuity or most specialized trauma and tertiary care, may still coordinate transfer to a Level I center elsewhere in the Atlanta metro -- a real distinction worth understanding rather than assuming Level II designation means every possible case is handled fully on-site.
A local hospital anchor, and also a named local employer
Beyond its role as a healthcare provider, Wellstar North Fulton Hospital is cited as the third-largest employer in the city of Roswell by at least one source (see jobs-economy) -- a real, dual role as both a healthcare and local-economy anchor for the city.
What this research pass could not confirm
This pass did not identify a second major hospital system operating directly within Roswell city limits alongside Wellstar North Fulton, nor did it resolve the hospital's exact current bed count to one precise, cross-checked figure -- both disclosed as gaps rather than assumed.
