Northeast Georgia Health System received a bomb threat on Saturday night that prompted law enforcement agencies to conduct sweeps of all campuses, including Northeast Georgia Medical Center Habersham in Demorest.
Officials said there was no threat to the public at any time.
“No threat was found and there was no impact to operations,” NGHS spokesperson Layne Saliba said in an email Monday.
Demorest Police Chief Casey Chastain told Now Habersham his department responded alongside Habersham County Sheriff’s Office after 1 a.m. and completed the security check through the morning.
“We did a sweep of the building and had a bomb dog sweep the building also,” Chastain said. “Nothing was found.”
