Nestled in the foothills just over an hour north of Atlanta (easily accessible by four-lane highway), Fannin County has long been a vacation destination, and now Blue Ridge and its neighboring communities are growing steadily with new permanent residents. In fact, Fannin County was recently ranked one of the nation's top ten fastest growing counties (measured by new home starts)!
With a crime rate almost 50% below the national average, and an unemployment rate also well below the national average, Blue Ridge is a great place to establish a practice, raise a family, and enjoy the great outdoors.
Fannin Regional Hospital is an award winning 50-bed community hospital with a new ICU and three large ORs (two of them new), a new microscope suitable for ENT work, and thyroid instrumentation already on hand.
