Residents of Gainesville Georgia, have peace of mind when it comes to medical care. Northeast Georgia Health System recently started construction on their brand new, state-of-the-art, 100-bed, acute care medical center at River Place in Braselton. Residents of this Georgia lake community should be very excited because this is the first new hospital to be built in Georgia in twenty years. Because the occasion is so rare, they held a Blessing of the Ground Ceremony before they broke ground. With construction now well under way, they continue to plan their innovative strategies for partnerships, research, and advancing medical care to make this facility the “go-to” place for healthcare in northern Georgia. 

The first of over 2,000 tons of structural steel went up at the end of May. A sign of  our digital world, all of the construction progress can be watched on a live-action link found on the Northeast Georgia Medical Center's website. As perfection cannot be rushed, they won’t be welcoming patients until early 2015, but this northern Georgia medical center promises to be worth the wait! In the meantime, residents of this Georgia lake community continue to have great healthcare options already nearby.
