| Get your tickets to see our keynote panel for Health Care Unscrambled!
Georgians for a Healthy Future is excited to announce this year’s Health Care Unscrambled keynote panel! Our featured discussion, Town & Country, will examine the health care and public health experiences of rural and urban Georgians. Amid widening gaps in health access, workforce availability, and investment, rural and urban Georgia still share many health outcomes and experiences. Our three expert panelists will weave together their direct local observations and deep policy expertise to tell the stories of Georgians separated by geography and united by health priorities and needs.
This year’s conversation features three nationally-recognized experts who call Georgia home: Dr. Keisha Callins of Community Health Care Systems; Charlie Hayslett, journalist and public health communicator; and Dr. Dominic Mack of Morehouse School of Medicine.
RSVP today to take part in this great conversation on January 10, 2023!
Sponsorship opportunities are available.

INSIDE LOOK INTO HIGH COSTS OF HEALTH CARE |
|
|
| Get your copy of What the health, Georgia? today!
The high cost of medical care has long been a concern for consumers. Many Georgians are uninsured, delay needed care, or struggle to pay their medical bills due to high costs. Even more Georgians worry about affording care in the future, especially care related to aging or medical emergencies.
What the health, Georgia? is a new illustrated resource for state and community leaders that details these consumer concerns. The guide presents statewide and regional survey results about health care cost worries shared by Georgians. In this powerful reference, key data and insights are brought together to tell Georgia’s health care and public health story.
We invite decision makers, advocates, and partners to download and use What the health, Georgia? to assist in your work to improve health and well-being for Georgians. Read our blog and get your copy of What the Health, Georgia? today!

ANOTHER LOOK AT GHF’S STRATEGIC PLAN |
| Goal #3: Building a resilient, equitable organization
Following the launch of GHF’s new 2022-2026 strategic plan, Executive Director Laura Colbert is dedicating a monthly blog to each of GHF’s four strategic goals. The blogs provide a more detailed look at how the goal was developed, what it will take to carry it out, and how GHF’s advocacy will improve as a result.
In her third blog, Laura writes about GHF’s efforts to build stability and sustainability ahead of inevitable internal and external changes. By carefully evaluating GHF’s impacts, intentionally developing the incredible people who make up GHF, and fundraising for flexibility, GHF will be able to successfully and equitably navigate changes that come our way without straying from our mission.
