Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) broke ground today on a new medical plaza located in Buford. The new multi-tenant building at the corner of Buford Highway and South Lee Street will serve the community with a new urgent care center and access to specialty care, according to Carol Burrell, President and CEO of NGHS.
The three-story, 90,000 square foot medical plaza is expected to open in Spring 2022. It will house an urgent care, cardiology by the Heart Center of NGHS, a physical group with family medicine, OBGYN, urology, sports medicine, and more. It will also be home to a new imaging center and an on-site lab for convenient testing.
“This medical Plaza will mean more available appointments, with less lead time and much less travel,” says Burrell.
Buford’s City Manager, Bryan Kerlin, says it’s great to have NGHS as a part of the community. “It’s exciting to see this level of investment closer to the city limits, especially at such a highly visible intersection, and the Medical Plaza will provide an array of great healthcare services, which should help improve the health of so many people in this community.”
