Enabling a healthier Georgia by supporting medical services and addressing health care needs
The people of Georgia need robust, accessible health care, but for many communities, the right professionals or medical resources are just out of reach. We’re forging local partnerships throughout the state to help.
In addition to establishing our new School of Medicine to address workforce shortages, we’re mitigating food insecurity, connecting medical students to those in need, and utilizing cutting-edge research to improve public health in our state.
