We organize community forums and workshops across Georgia to foster substantive local dialogue about health issues. We convene local leaders, medical providers, stakeholders, and consumers to discuss the most important health care issues facing them in their communities. We provide leadership, coordination, and strategic direction for a wide range of individual patient and consumer advocate organizations with missions to impact health care policy on behalf of their constituents. We serve as an important resource and source of information for policymakers who make decisions that impact the lives of Georgia health care consumers, and we use our strong and effective voice to advocate for public policy change that brings us closer to our vision of a day in which all Georgians have equitable opportunities to live healthy lives. We are the trusted voice for consumer perspectives on health care cited in the press regularly to represent the consumer perspective on media coverage of health care issues statewide. We have earned a seat at the table with policymakers our staff have been appointed to commissions and task forces to bring the consumer voice to the table as elected and appointed officials make health care policy decisions. We have successfully mobilized coalitions and achieved concrete public policy wins for Georgia consumers.
