Johns Creek Firefighters Rescue Man From Construction Site

JOHNS CREEK, GA — A man is recovering following an injury at a hospital construction site in Johns Creek over the weekend, fire officials say.

On Saturday, firefighters were dispatched to Emory Johns Creek Hospital for reports of an injury, which happened on the upper story that was under construction.

Firefighters were able to safely stabilize the injured man and lower him down to the ground level and transport him to the hospital for further evaluation.

The hospital broke ground on its expansion for the medical office building at Physician’s Plaza and a new parking deck back in June. The $30 million project will add 108,500 square feet to Physician’s Plaza. The expansion will also include two new elevators and a dedicated entrance for patients at Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University in Johns Creek.

Construction for Physician’s Plaza is expected to be completed by May 2021.
