Hall County is looking to part ways with a primary care practice that county officials say isn't fulfilling an agreement to provide care for low-income residents. The Hall County Board of Commissioners on Monday directed Assistant County Administrator Marty Nix and attorney Bill Blalock to negotiate an "exit strategy" with Northeast Georgia Primary Care Clinic at 1292 Athens St., a county-owned clinic space. The clinic is operated by the Northeast Georgia Physicians Group, a branch of Northeast Georgia Health System.
