NGHS to locate medical office building in Dawsonville

GAINESVILLE - Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) plans to renovate an existing 23,000 square foot building in Dawsonville and turn it into a multi-purpose medical office building.

The complex will be housed in the former Moto 400 building on Prominence Court near the Georgia 400/Georgia 53 intersection.
