Alpharetta and Milton residents can now access behavioral health, senior services, vital records and more at a single $25 million county facility on North Point Parkway, Fulton County Commissioner Bob Ellis told the Rotary Club of Alpharetta on Sunday, Aug. 16.
Ellis, who represents District 2 and lives in Milton, briefed club members on the new Health & Human Services North facility at 4700 North Point Parkway. The 180,000-square-foot building houses behavioral health, senior services, vital records, WIC (Women, Infants and Children) programming, adult day care, DUI-related services, developmental disabilities services, emergency preparedness and wraparound services for children and adolescents.
All are now under one roof.
Ellis posted on X after the meeting that the facility brings those services together in one location, connecting the county's work to the Rotary motto of "Service Above Self."
Fulton County purchased the roughly 24-acre site off Ga. 400 in fall 2019. During the pandemic, the building served as one of North Fulton's largest COVID-19 testing and vaccination centers, second only to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, according to Appen Media. The design-build renovation was carried out by Beck PMI, a joint venture of The Beck Group and Peachtree Mechanical Inc. Each department's lobby is color-coded to help visitors navigate the building.
The facility officially opened April 16 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Alpharetta Mayor Jim Gilvin and City Council members, according to a Fulton County press release. Behavioral health services that previously operated out of the North Fulton Service Center on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs have relocated to the Alpharetta site.
At a hard-hat tour in November 2025, Gilvin called the project "a game changer for Fulton County, for North Fulton specifically, and our residents," noting that many residents don't realize the range of services the county provides.
Ellis has made the facility a centerpiece of his health advocacy. He disclosed in an Aug. 3 county press release that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2025 and credited early detection with allowing him to develop a treatment plan.
The county is also expanding mental health infrastructure nearby. The Fulton County Board of Commissioners approved $9.48 million in state grant funding on July 15 for the planning and design of a Behavioral Health Crisis Center in North Fulton, according to board records.
Coming up at HHS North
Ellis is hosting a Men's Health Tailgate at the facility on Thursday, Aug. 27, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The free event offers prostate cancer screenings from Emory's Winship Cancer Institute, mental health resources and a visit from Atlanta Falcons mascot Freddie Falcon.
