BCSS School Clinics Get A Boost
Northeast Georgia Medical Center (NGMC) Barrow, initiated a district wide partnership July 2017 and their community reinvestment of $10,000 is touching the lives of all Barrow students. Part of this endeavor includes sponsoring the Nurse's Clinics in each of the Barrow County School System's 15 schools and 3 additional BCSS programs. Many exciting student opportunities and collaborative plans are in the works as a result of NGMC Barrow's priority of investing in the future of Barrow County students, who will be our community's leaders tomorrow.
