About Us

Established in 1979, Georgia Highlands Medical Services, Inc. (GHMS) is a non-profit community-based medical facility with locations in Cumming, and Canton, Georgia.  GHMS is governed by a local board of directors made up of community members, 51 percent of whom are required to be active patients.

GHMS serves the broad health needs of North Georgia residents through a family practice model of care. A multi-site community based health center, GHMS works to ensure that its patients have access to all levels of the health care system. GHMS is especially committed to providing services for the medically underserved.

A strong proponent of preventive education and public health activities, GHMS collaborates with other community agencies and organizations to identify health related needs and to develop resources to meet these needs.

We are dedicated to improving the health and quality of life for all residents of North Georgia, regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, national origin, age, gender, disability, veteran status, and/or ability to pay.

If you are new to Georgia Highlands Medical Services, we encourage you to apply for our special "sliding scale" medical fee plan.  At the time of your visit, please bring proof of one month's income and expenses.  Many patients at GHMS, who qualify under this program, pay a very small co-payment for office visits and services.  Those who qualify also may receive their medications at no cost or at a discount.
