\"\"<\/a>Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) is a not-for-profit health system dedicated to improving the health and quality of life of the people of Northeast Georgia. Led by volunteer boards made up of community leaders, NGHS serves almost 1.5 million people in more than 18 counties across Northeast Georgia through a variety of locations:
\n\u2022 Four Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) campuses
\n\u2022 More than 65 Northeast Georgia Physicians Group (NGPG) locations
\n\u2022 More than a dozen locations of The Heart Center of NGMC
\n\u2022 Dozens of outpatient locations<\/p>\n

Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) continues to receive top state and national rankings for quality care from multiple independent healthcare quality ratings agencies.<\/p>\n

NGMC has been recognized in recent years by the American Stroke Association for its stroke care, is a verified Level II Trauma Center, has the state\u2019s first Emergency Cardiac Care Center Designation, was the only cancer program in Georgia to receive the 2018 Outstanding Achievement Award for cancer services and was the first in the state to receive recognition as a Center of Excellence for Hernia and Robotic Surgery. NGMC also joined the Winship Cancer Network as an affiliate of the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, expanding access to cancer care in our region.<\/p>\n

The 2017 Hospital Quality Ratings study by CareChex included virtually all U.S. hospitals (general, acute, non-federal) and measured them across several categories including quality of medical care, outcomes of care and patient satisfaction. The study rated NGMC as:
\n\u2022 Georgia\u2019s #1 Heart Hospital (2006 \u2013 2017)
\n\u2022 Georgia\u2019s #1 Pulmonary Care Hospital
\n\u2022 Georgia\u2019s #1 Hospital for Women\u2019s Health
\n\u2022 Top 9% in the Nation for Cancer Care
\n\u2022 Top 10% in the Nation for Pneumonia Care, Stroke Care and Surgical Care<\/p>\n

NGMC is one of America’s 50 Best Hospitals (according to Healthgrades\u00ae) and among only 20 large community hospitals named to Truven Healthcare’s list of the Nation’s 100 Top Hospitals. \u00a0NGMC is accredited by DNV and also holds accreditation with commendation as a Comprehensive Community Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons\u2019 Commission on Cancer and accreditation by the Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery Accreditation and Quality Improvement Program.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Northeast Georgia Medical Center’s Graduate Medical Education (GME) program expanded to 64 residents in General Surgery, Internal Medicine and Family Medicine programs in 2020. The program plans to extend to more than 200 residents across six specialties \u2013 General Surgery, Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine, OB\/GYN and Psychiatry \u2013 by 2023. The GME program is expected to drive more than $66 million into Hall County\u2019s economy from 2019 to 2023 \u2013 and an additional $18 million in local economic impact for each year after.<\/p>\n
