September 24, 2024 NGMC Gainesville is making it easier for people to find their way View »

Patients and visitors at Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Gainesville will soon find it easier to navigate the hospital's campus, thanks to a new color-coded wayfinding system set to launch this fall. Patients and visitors can expect to see the first signage changes inside and outside the hospital starting in October.

"This new wayfinding system is all about making it easier for our patients and their families to get to the right place to get the right care and service," said John Kueven, president of NGMC Gainesville and chief operating officer for Northeast Georgia Health System. "We want everyone to feel comfortable and confident finding their way, whether they're here for an appointment, a visit or in an emergency."

Several buildings on the NGMC Gainesville campus will now be tied to a specific color. The current North Patient Tower will be renamed the Blue Tower, the current South Tower will be renamed the Orange Tower and the tower currently being built, which is set to be completed in early 2025, will be named the Green Tower. Additionally, the Women & Children's Pavilion will be associated with yellow, the area that connects the current North and South Towers will be associated with gray and the Outpatient Building will be associated with purple.

Staff will provide new wayfinding guides at the hospital's information desks, and you can also find them online at www.nghs.com/gainesville.
