A new event is coming to Suwanee’s Town Center Park, just in time for holiday shopping and cheer. Toast @ Town Center is designed to encourage patrons to enjoy good meals, good deals, and good times in the heart of downtown Suwanee. From 5 to 10 p.m. Thursday, November 5 and Thursday, December 3, merchants at Town Center will offer special deals, entertainment, and in-store events.
During Toast @ Town Center, patrons will be able to bring drinks purchased at Town Center restaurants – coffee, sodas, beer, and wine – from shop to shop and within the park. Suwanee Town Center is located at the intersection of Buford Highway and Lawrenceville-Suwanee Road.
“The idea is to create a fun, street festival-type atmosphere,” says Downtown Manager Catherine Dixon. “We hope that the event will appeal to citizens for a variety of reasons. Families might be able to find a great dinner special or a one-night only bargain at one of the Town Center shops. Others might find this a fun way to get a head start on the weekend and enjoy mixing and mingling with friends along the sidewalk in front of the restaurants and shops.”

* Ranked best in Gwinnett County for Overall Critical Care Services in 2010

GMC - D ranked in the top 1% of all hospital's nationally (99th percentile) in patient satisfaction for orthopedic diagnoses in ambulatory surgery.
HealthGrades RatingsHealthGrades' hospital ratings and awards reflect the track record of patient outcomes at hospitals in the form of mortality and complication rates.
HealthGrades rates hospitals independently based on data that hospitals submit to the federal government. No hospital can opt in or out of being rated, and no hospital pays to be rated.
For 28 procedures and treatments, HealthGrades issues star ratings that reflect the mortality and complication rates for each category of care. Hospitals receiving a 5-star rating have mortality or complication rates that are below the national average, to a statistically significant degree. A 3-star rating means the hospital performs as expected. One-star ratings indicate the hospital's mortality or complication rates in that procedure or treatment are statistically higher than average. Because the risk profiles of patient populations at hospitals are not alike, HealthGrades risk-adjusts the data to allow for apples-to-apples comparisons.
