You may have seen recent reports about the issues of vaccine safety and the causes of autism that were unfounded and not based on scientific evidence. These reports have caused understandable confusion among parents, families, and people with autism. In the face of so much misinformation, I wanted share a few facts, and highlight the trusted resources and experts that we turn to at GHF: 

Georgians for a Healthy Future is launching a new Caregiver Coalition, and we want you to be part of it.

Why Join the Caregiver Coalition?

Family caregivers play a critical role in supporting the health and well-being of Georgians. Whether you care for an adult or child with an intellectual or developmental disability, a physical disability, an aging family member, or someone with complex health needs, your experiences matter.

Health care in Georgia isn’t working for everyone. Georgians are struggling with the current system. People navigate complicated processes, wait weeks for care, and drive hours to see a doctor. These aren’t just statistics; they’re real stories from people who rely on the state’s Medicaid program, Georgia Pathways, to meet their health needs.

In an exclusive podcast episode produced by Georgians for a Healthy Future, we hear directly from people living these challenges every day. Their experiences show the barriers to care in Georgia and highlight why we must act now to improve access for everyone.
