Gwinnett Medical Center Reaches 1,000 Letters

2/27/2009

Open heart campaign exceeds letter-writing goal

Gwinnett Medical Center surpassed its goal of 1,000 letters supporting the Certificate of Need application for open heart services. These letters demonstrate strong community support for advanced cardiac care at GMC.

“I want to personally thank everyone who has helped us reach our goal of 1,000 letters,” said Phil Wolfe, president and CEO. “Community members, business leaders, elected officials and municipalities have all stepped forward in this effort, and we are grateful for their support.”

GMC’s open heart CON application was submitted in January 2008 to the Department of Community Health for review. The review process is underway and the application was deemed complete on February 6. GMC will continue to accept letters throughout the CON process.

Community members wanting to support the cause can submit a letter at www.OpenHeartGwinnett.org, or can call the GMC Foundation at 678-312-4634 to make a contribution.
