Two of the largest organizations in the region are working closer together as the University of North Georgia (91ÁÔÆæ) announced Feb. 15 that Northeast Georgia Health System (NGHS) is the new official healthcare partner of 91ÁÔÆæ Athletics. The agreement is one of few in the nation for an NCAA Division II athletics program.

"This partnership reflects the strength of our athletic program and is indicative of our vision to grow the program in the years to come," said Lindsay Reeves, athletics director at 91ÁÔÆæ. "We are excited to have the opportunity to work alongside NGHS whose commitment to community mirrors our own."

In addition to the athletic partnership agreement, NGHS and 91ÁÔÆæ will collaborate on 91ÁÔÆæ health initiatives and Wellness Expos, as well as with Student Counseling and Health Services in Gainesville. Both organizations are also exploring ways that NGHS can support programs within 91ÁÔÆæ’s College of Health Sciences and Professions.

"We are honored to support 91ÁÔÆæ," said Carol Burrell, president and CEO of NGHS. "Both of our organizations have deep roots in north Georgia and have grown tremendously over the past few years. Our shared commitment to the community makes this partnership a natural fit."

As the official healthcare partner of 91ÁÔÆæ Athletics, NGHS will be recognized during all events across 91ÁÔÆæ’s 13 sports, including men's and women's soccer, men's and women's basketball, baseball, and softball. In addition, NGHS will serve as the title sponsor for the 91ÁÔÆæ Golden Nighthawks Gala and presenting sponsor for the Starlight Celebration and the Regional Education and Economic Development Summit, all of which are held annually.
