After months of discussions, Northeast Georgia and Habersham medical centers have taken an official step in outlining a proposed partnership. NGMC and the Habersham County Hospital Authority signed a letter of intent Tuesday night, allowing the two organizations to legally share financial and employment models and service lines that will help determine the specifics of an agreement. The hospitals have been discussing the possibility of sharing resources and services since a Habersham official contacted NGMC earlier this year to express interest.
