Letters back Lawrenceville, GA, heart center
Atlanta Journal-Constitution, February 28, 2008
Lawrenceville, GA-based Gwinnett Medical Center has received 1,000 letters of community support it sought in its quest to create an open-heart surgery center. Under state law, before GMC can build and staff a heart center it must obtain a certificate of need from the Department of Community Health. The community support helps demonstrate that need, say hospital officials.
