OFFICE OF FULTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER BRIDGET THORNE DISTRICT 1

Essential County Services Under One Roof.

Now in North Fulton

Fulton County Health & Human Services North is now officially open, bringing a wide range of essential services directly to residents in North Fulton. This new facility eliminates the need to travel downtown by offering convenient, local access to the support and resources our community relies on.

We celebrated this milestone with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 16, 2026, joined by county, city, and state leaders, nonprofit partners, and community members. This project represents a

$15.4 million investment by Fulton County to expand critical health and human services—an investment in people, in access, and in the well-being of North Fulton.



Inside this facility, you’ll find a wide range of critical services all under one roof: 

• Behavioral health care for both children and adults 
• Support for individuals with developmental disabilities 
• A wide range of Senior services 
• Public health resources through the Fulton County Board of Health 
• Customer service support, and 
• The Recovery Treatment Court 

We are so excited that our new District 1 office will be located right here in this building, offering us easy access to serve the residents of our district. If you need help, if you have a question, or if you just want to connect – we’re here. 

Our team is committed to being present, responsive, and ready to serve. Because at the end of the day, that’s our job, and it’s our commitment to you. 

A healthier community is a stronger community, and we’re here to serve you.
