Leaders say doctors were directly involved in the concept of this building and were able to suggest features to help patients.
The hospital, located at 1000 Healing Way, has a Matthews mailing address but it is located in Stallings.
It is the first hospital Atrium has built in the Charlotte area in more than 30 years.
