CEO Letter
These are unprecedented times. What isn’t unprecedented is the
way our community cares for one another. Northwest Georgia is no
stranger to hardship, yet each and every time, friends, families, and
neighbors join forces with strength, courage, love, and compassion
to see each other through those difficult times. Whether it is an
economic challenge, a raging storm, or a global pandemic, we’re all in
this together.
We are thankful for the strong partnerships we have with area
health departments, city and government agencies, and local
businesses–especially in times like these. Many businesses have
gone out of their way to help provide personal protective equipment
(PPE) and have even changed their processes to manufacture
needed materials. We are also thankful to the community leaders
who volunteer their valuable time to be the stewards of Hamilton’s
mission through the Hamilton Health Care System and Hamilton
Medical Center boards.
In these unprecedented times, the heart that Northwest Georgia
has shown is inspiring. It shows that even though we may have
recently spent some time apart, we’re all in this together.
