We always love seeing where our grads land, especially when they choose to stay and care for the patients in our own communities!

Congratulations, Family Medicine Residency program graduate Dr. Catherine Kuo!

We're thrilled to be adding more primary care options in Buford, as Dr. Catherine Kuo joins NGPG at our Medical Plaza on South Lee Street! She grew up 2,500 miles away, but is happy to now be in Gwinnett County, serving the Buford community. When she's not caring for patients, she enjoys traveling, reading and drinking coffee.

Our Emergency Medicine residents at NGMC recently stepped outside the classroom and into the field alongside White County EMS! As part of orientation, they experienced the realities of delivering pre-hospital care in challenging environments and even tackled high-angle rope rescue training, conquering fears while building the skills and confidence needed to care for patients wherever help is needed.
