News

 

DAHLONEGA, Ga. – State Senator Steve Gooch brought welcome news to the Lumpkin County Board of Commissioners meeting Tuesday evening. Northeast Georgia Health System will open an Urgent Care center in Dahlonega early next year.

The facility will be located in the Home Depot Shopping Center on Longbranch Road at the corner of Ga. 400 and U.S. Hwy. 60 and will be open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. seven days a week.

Northeast Georgia Health System continues its plan to bring exceptional Urgent Care to Dahlonega. Physicians and advanced practitioners will treat illnesses or injuries that need immediate attention, but are not life-threatening.

Dr. Antonio Rios, MD medical director and chief administrative officer of Northeast Georgia Physicians Group said, “Northeast Georgia Health System has been serving Lumpkin County residents for decades through the Dahlonega offices of Northeast Georgia Physicians Group (family medicine, internal medicine and OB/GYN) and The Rehabilitation Institute. We are excited to bring even more services to this area through a new Urgent Care center which offers seven-day- a-week, extended-hours care, giving Dahlonega residents even more convenient access to the state’s most awarded health care.”

No appointment is necessary at NGHS’ Urgent Care centers, and most major insurance plans are accepted. Urgent Care Dahlonega will accept patients 6 months and older and provide access to a referral network of more than 500 physicians if specialty care is needed.

Urgent Care is part of Northeast Georgia Physicians Group, an affiliate of Northeast Georgia Health System, with six locations throughout Northeast Georgia. Learn more at ngpg.org.
