and visitors
•expanding the pharmacy,
laboratory, kitchen and oth
er support spaces
A Certificate of Need
(CON) application has also
been filed with the state to
add more operating rooms

ies and procedures. Addi
tional expansion also in
cludes the construction of
an endovascular operating
room for the performance

“We began planning for
the Braselton campus al
most 20 years ago, working
with community leaders
who shared our vision for
what this hospital could
become” says Anthony
Williamson, president of
NGMC Braselton. “This
expansion is not only a re
flection of the growth of
the Braselton area, but also
of our original plan to con
tinue to add timely, com
prehensive, much needed
health-related services for
the community.”
The expansion is sched
uled to begin in late Novem
ber, with new patient care
floors completed in sum
mer 2025. The emergency
department expansion is
expected to be complete in
2026.
“This is another of our
many projects we refer to
as ‘Growing the Greater
Good,”’ said Carol Bur
rell, president and CEO of
NGHS. “That phrase is a re
minder that, when we grow
to care for more patients and
expand our clinical services,
we’re ultimately reinvest
ing in the overall health of
our region - whether that’s
through the care we pro
vide, creating new jobs, or
the ripple effect high-quali
ty health care can have in a
community.”
