WINDER — For Northeast Georgia Health System President and CEO Carol Burrell, who grew up in Barrow County, Thursday’s open house at the new Northeast Georgia Medical Center Barrow was a festive homecoming. Attendees enjoyed food and fire-roasted s’mores, and children rode a merry-go-round while hospital auxiliary members handed out bags of wildflower seeds and other freebies. At the event, Burrell talked of reconnecting with old friends, praised the locals who turned out in large numbers “to welcome us to this family,” and noted how they would work together to make a positive impact on the community.
