When you need health care in an emergency, you can count on Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) in Gainesville. In fact, more than 100,000 patients trust their emergency care to NGMC each year.
Our Emergency Department is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is staffed by board certified emergency medicine physicians and expert nurses, paramedics and technicians. Our extensive on-call list of specialty physicians, from our medical staff of more than 500 doctors, ensures you have access to the clinical experts you need. The Medical Center’s emergency services are supported by county-owned and operated emergency medical transport services.
Our Emergency Department has 115 total beds including:
84 beds for traditional emergency treatment
15 observation beds for patients who need testing but do not need to be admitted to the hospital
9 beds in a specialized unit to treat patients with behavioral health needs and coordinate transfer to Laurelwood, our onsite mental health and substance abuse treatment hospital
5 “super track” beds to quickly treat patients with minor medical conditions
2 beds for trauma patients or patients who need to be resuscitated.
If you have a life-threatening illness or injury, go to the nearest Emergency Department. Please call 9-1-1, and do not attempt to drive yourself!
Conditions we treat in the Emergency Department include:
Suspected Poisoning (immediately call the Poison Control Center at 1-800-282-5846, as many potentially dangerous substances require immediate home treatments such as the induction of vomiting or water dilution)

A major injury, such as a blow to the head or chest
A blood producing cough or the vomiting of blood
Pain, pressure, fullness, or squeezing in the chest
Shortness of breath along with, or just prior to, chest discomfort
Sudden weakness or numbness in the face, the arm or leg on one side of the body
Sudden dimming or loss of vision, particularly in one eye
