The Healthcare Georgia Foundation, a local organization that partners with nonprofits to give the needy access to quality health care, recently announced that it has been rebranded as the Georgia Health Initiative. With its new name, the initiative is also taking on a “refreshed approach.”
“After more than a year spent listening to our partners across the state, considering what it means to stand for equity, and connecting the dots between what Georgia needs and the roles we can play, we are pleased to be taking another step on our journey under this new banner,” the Georgia Health Initiative reported in a news release.
Georgia Health Initiative is built on three guiding principles: initiative, community and joy.
“Today, we are ready for our work and our role to evolve, ready to bring a refreshed approach to our vision of a Georgia in which all people have the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential for health,” the organization reported. “In everything, we are guided by our new mission: To inspire and promote collective action that advances health equity for all Georgians.”
The initiative is dedicated to energizing the efforts of local health care industry nonprofits, all as a member of the community-oriented “#TeamPossible.”
It’s all in the name of bringing joy and hope to a happier future Georgia.
“Some of this work has already begun. If you’ve been following us, you know that we recently released a request for proposals for Health Advocacy projects, to a strong response. We’re looking forward to investing more than $1M in projects brought forth by the community. This is the first of many programmatic strategies to come, each introduced after staff has worked with community partners to understand where we can best add value.
“There’s so much more good work to be done, and we are ready for it. As we steady ourselves on the foundation of almost 25 years of community partnerships and good work, we are leaning into becoming a more active collaborator and catalyst. Please look forward to continued partnership as we co-create the Georgia we all deserve.”
