Patients living along Ga. 400 and all across Dawsonville will soon have even greater access to care close to home as Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) expands its presence in the growing area. NGHS broke ground on its newest Medical Plaza yesterday, March 8, as health system and community leaders looked on.
“We’ve been looking forward to this expansion for quite some time,” said Daniel Tuffy, president and chief administrative officer for Northeast Georgia Physicians Group (NGPG). “Since we opened Medical Plaza 400 in 2013, we’ve seen the growing need for care here, so we’re excited to be able to provide that for this community and continue keeping them close to home.”
The three-story, 35,800-square-foot building – easily visible from Ga. 400 and right next to Medical Plaza 400 – is slated to open in spring 2024 and is expected to accommodate 100,000 visits each year. Medical Plaza 400 will be renamed Medical Plaza 1 as the new Medical Plaza 2 is being constructed. The project will cost $20.9 million and be home to:
- A new, larger NGPG Urgent Care – open every day 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- Cardiology services provided by Georgia Heart Institute
- NGPG specialty services including OB/GYN, sports medicine, orthopedic surgery and urology
