Jan. 20—Two years from now, Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville will have a gleaming, new 11-story tower. For now, it's concrete, steel, dirt and tall, tall cranes occupying the vast site off Downey Boulevard and next to the hospital at 743 Green St. Hospital officials showed off progress Friday, Jan. 20, of the $538 million project. Construction started in spring 2022 on the new tower, which will dwarf the adjacent North Patient Tower that opened in 2009. "Our goal is to make sure we're providing the right care close to home," said Carol Burrell, president and CEO of Northeast Georgia Health System.
