Honoring Georgia’s health champions
Powerhouse Policymaker Award: Wendy White Tiegreen
Linda Lowe Health Advocacy Award: Andy Miller
During her 35 years at the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health & Developmental Disabilities, Wendy championed peer recovery supports, 9-8-8 crisis response, and people-centered mental health care. Her vision has strengthened systems of care across the state.
Founder of Georgia Health News and longtime health reporter, Andy has spent decades bringing transparency and accountability to Georgia’s health care system. His reporting helped inform families, advocates, and policymakers, making real change possible.
Why it matters
Andy and Wendy remind us that lasting change comes from centering people—whether through fearless reporting or bold policymaking. Their leadership continues to inspire GHF’s mission to promote people-first policies and keep Georgians informed.
