DECEMBER 2021

THANK YOU FOR HELPING US MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
Thank you for your support!

Thank you for choosing GHF on Giving Tuesday! Your generous donations warm our hearts, and help us mobilize health advocates across the state in support of policies & laws that promote Georgia’s health and wellness. Advocacy is year-round work. Your support is essential for GHF to remain a strong, responsive voice for Georgians and their famliies. Thank you!

If you didn’t get a chance to donate and can afford to, it’s not too late! Consider becoming a monthly donor and let GHF know we can count on you for the long haul!

Give once to show your support twice!

GHF hosts two great events each year. You can show your support for our work with a sponsorship! Health Care Unscrambled will take place on January 11, 2022 and Give ‘Em Health trivia will be held later in the year. Two great events! Give once to support GHF’s important work twice in 2022!

Next month GHF will kick off the Georgia legislature’s health care conversations at Health Care Unscrambled. This breakfast brings together legislators, advocates, and national thought leaders to discuss the most pressing health issues facing Georgians and solutions that build a healthier state.

We hope you will join GHF, Dr. Georges C. Benjamin, and a bipartisan legislative panel for Health Care Unscrambled on Tuesday, January 11th at 7:30 am. Limited in-person attendance is available (with masks & proof of vaccination), along with a virtual streaming option. RSVP today to secure your spot!

Healthcare.gov is open for business through January 15th! You can browse available plans now and enroll in affordable, comprehensive coverage for 2022.

If you or someone you know needs health insurance in 2022, now is the time to get covered!

Gov. Kemp wants to make health insurance harder for Georgians. Comment today!

Federal health officials have asked—likely for the last time—for your opinion on Governor Kemp’s proposal to remake health insurance in Georgia. Your comments become part of a powerful legal record that may protect Georgians and their families from a plan that will only make health insurance harder. Don’t miss your chance to say how this plan will affect you, your loved ones, and Georgians across the state. Comment today!
