NGHS renews support of University of North Georgia athletics
ortheast Georgia Health Sys
tem (NGHS) has renewed its
support of University of North
Georgia (UNG) Athletics for an
other five years. NGHS initially
became the official healthcare
partner ofUNG Athletics in Feb
ruary 2020.
UNG Athletics Director Mary
Rob Plunkett is excited to see the
ways the partnership will contin
ue to bolster UNO’s status as one
of the top NCAA Division II ath
letic departments in the country.
“We are grateful to Northeast
Georgia Health System for their
generous support of our athletics
programs,” Plunkett said. “This
continued partnership positions
our student-athletes and coach
es for success in the classroom,
in competition and in the com
munity. We are proud to have
NGHS as part of Nighthawk
Nation.”
hi addition to the athletic part
nership agreement, NGHS and
UNG will continue to collabo
rate on UNG health initiatives
and wellness expos, as well as
with Student Counseling and
Student Health Services on
UNO’s Gainesville Campus.
UNO’s College of Health Sci
ences and Professions will also
benefit from the partnership with
resources for its professional
excellence and student engage
ment programs.
“Caring for UNG faculty, staff
and students — including soon-
to-be nurses and student-athletes
— is one way that we further our
mission of improving the health
of the community in all we do,”
Carol Burrell, president and
CEO of NGHS, said. “Through
tliis partnership, we’re able to
make sure every student-athlete
gets the care they need from our
team of athletic trainers so they
can be their best in competition
and in the classroom.”
The partnership will also help
support UNG mental health ini
tiatives, plus life skills develop
ment programs and substance
safety and injury prevention for
student-athletes.
“Tliis partnership allows us
to expand our promotion of
positive, healthy life choices to
students through preventative
services, intervention and edu
cational programs,” Meri-Leigh
Smith, associate director of well
ness and health promotion, said.
“Creating community partner
ships, like tliis one with NGHS,
develops a culture of well-being
that extends well beyond our
UNG community, and we are
excited about the opportunities
tliis funding provides.”
NGHS will also serve as pre
senting sponsor for UNO’s an
nual Starlight Celebration and
Fireworks event held annually
in August at UNO’s Gainesville
Campus, the annual UNG Gala
that supports scholarships and
celebrates philanthropy, and
tiie annual Golden Nighthawk
Awards Gala for student-ath
letes.
UNG and NGHS have reg
ularly collaborated on a wide
array of projects, including the
accelerated Bachelor of Science
in Nursing track (ASBNT) they
developed and launched in Jan
uary 2023. Students who have
a bachelor’s or master’s degree
in another subject can earn their
nursing degree in 15 months
through the ABSNT, which is
currently accepting students for
its second cohort that begins in
January 2024.
NGHS remains a strong sup
porter of UNO’s Regional Edu
cation and Economic Develop
ment (REED) Initiative.

port in developing the region’s
workforce,” Bobbi Larson, ex
ecutive director of economic
development and community
engagement, said.
