August 19, 2024 NGHS opens urgent care and six other specialty practices at new Medical Plaza 1 in Bethlehem View »

People living in Bethlehem and near the surrounding Georgia Highway 316 corridor can now get urgent care, primary care and specialty care all in one convenient location as Northeast Georgia Health System's (NGHS) new Medical Plaza 1 opened today.

"Seeing this building come to fruition in a community that means so much to me is a special thing," said Carol Burrell, president and CEO of NGHS. "I grew up in Barrow County, so knowing these services will be here for generations, with providers who bring their best every day, is a perfect picture of what we mean when we say NGHS is 'Growing the Greater Good.'"

Medical Plaza 1 is a two-story, 34,000-square-foot medical office building located at 990 Loganville Highway, near the intersection of Carl-Bethlehem Road, which is easily accessible from Highway 316. The building is the new home of Northeast Georgia Physicians Group (NGPG) Family Health Associates - a well-established primary care office that moved from its longtime home in downtown Winder. NGPG Orthopedic Surgery and NGPG Sports Medicine also relocated to Medical Plaza 1, along with Georgia Heart Institute.

NGPG has also introduced new services to the area with urgent care, open every day from 8 a.m. to 7:45 p.m., as well as general surgery. OB-GYN services will also be available starting in September.

"We're thrilled that people who trust us with their primary care will now have so many high-quality specialists literally right next door when needed," said Garey Huff, Jr., MD, a family medicine physician with NGPG Family Health Associates. "That should make it so much easier for people to have multiple appointments all in one place."

Medical Plaza 1 and all the services inside are directly connected to Northeast Georgia Medical Center's (NGMC) five hospital campuses across the region, including its NGMC Barrow campus - which is just five miles away from Medical Plaza 1. This connection allows access to the full resources and expertise of the entire health system.
