History

Hall County Hospital, the predecessor to Northeast Georgia Medical Center Gainesville, opened on September 1, 1951, as a 90-bed hospital. The hospital's creation was the result of the merger of two existing hospitals: Downey Hospital, a private hospital founded in 1908 in the home of Dr. James Henry Downey, and the previous Hall County Hospital, a public hospital with an almshouse for the poor and elderly. Hall County Hospital underwent a $10 million expansion and was renamed Northeast Georgia Medical Center in 1976. [3] [4] In 2023, the hospital was designated as Georgia’s fifth American College of Surgeons (ACS) verified Level I trauma center. [5]
