Health Equity

In addition to overall health outcomes and indicators that consistently place Georgia in the bottom tier nationally, our state has considerable health disparities between communities. Racial and ethnic minority communities, rural and low-income urban communities, and those with disabilities and chronic mental illness, all experience worse health and worse opportunities for health than their peers. Georgians for a Healthy Future supports policies and practices that advance the opportunities for optimal health for all Georgians.

Caregivers Advisory Group

The Caregivers Advisory Group is dedicated to raising awareness and expanding outreach to family caregivers of all ages, including those providing care in both paid and unpaid, formal and informal roles. Caregiving often comes with increased risks of anxiety, depression, and other health challenges for those who are disproportionately impacted and face systemic barriers to support.

Despite being vital to our health care systems, caregivers frequently lack recognition and resources. Through this program, we hope to connect caregivers to essential services and advocacy opportunities. This program supports broader efforts around Medicaid expansion, support services, and personal storytelling while aiming to drive policy change that strengthens support for Georgia’s Caregivers.
