Healthcare System Overview

An In-Depth Look into the Healthcare System

Georgia Heart Institute (GHI) is the comprehensive, multi-disciplinary heart and vascular program of Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS). As the state’s most forward-thinking heart and vascular program, Georgia Heart Institute has been leading the way in heart and vascular care throughout the region for decades – treating thousands of patients annually – and this level of advancement and excellence has only continued to grow. The comprehensive program offers patients convenient access to diagnostics and high-quality routine and preventative care wherever they live throughout the region. Enriched by cutting-edge research and state-of-the-art facilities in Braselton, GA and in Gainesville, GA, they offer some of the most advanced heart and vascular treatments in the region for even the most complicated conditions.

The Georgia Heart Institute-Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) is continuing its legacy of providing the state’s top-rated heart care, while also elevating the quality of care for several other services, according to a recent study by an independent healthcare quality rating service.
The Hospital Quality Ratings study by Care Chex includes virtually all U.S. hospitals (general, acute, non-federal) and measures them across several categories including quality of medical care, outcomes of care and patient satisfaction.
