Northeast Georgia Health System on Friday named a new president for Gainesville’s Northeast Georgia Medical Center. Bradley Nurkin will fill the role starting Aug. 20, a position restructured from the previous chief operating officer role, according to NGHS CEO Carol Burrell. “Our new NGMC president position more accurately reflects the scope of leadership and accountability focused on the operations of the hospital,” Burrell said, noting that hospital operations are expanding with more services being offered and new initiatives coming online.
