(KNOX) – Altru Hospital cuts the ribbon Thursday on its new state-of-the-art hospital.  A Community Celebration is scheduled for 2 to 7 p.m. and is open to the public.

The new hospital is located next to the current hospital  at 1200 South Columbia Road.  Parking is free in the lot north of the hospital with a shuttle taking people to the main entrance.

The new hospital begins moving patients and opens the emergency room at 6 a.m. January 19.

Altru 860 will become the Altru Behavioral Health Center for inpatient and outpatient behavioral health.

Once the move into the new hospital is complete, Altru will begin the process of decommissioning and demolishing the old hospital.
