BRASELTON, Ga. – Patients in and around Braselton now have a new, accredited destination for surgeries outside the hospital with local providers they know and trust. Yesterday, the Braselton Surgery Center, an affiliate of Northeast Georgia Health System, received its Accreditation Commission for Health Care (ACHC) accreditation.
