Founded June, The Hispanic Healthcare Coalition of Georgia's mission is to promote health equity for all Hispanics by empowering, educating and advocating for healthy communities throughout Georgia.
Together with its members (both health-related and non-health centered organizations and professionals), HHCGA identifies needs and service gaps leading to health disparities for Georgia Hispanics and offers direct community services as well as supportive activities to help its members improve the health wellbeing of Georgia Latinos.
How do we promote health equity for all?
Promoting Health in Georgia's Latino Communities
Through its health promoters initiative, HHCGA trains lay health educators who serve as a bridge between community members and health care services.
Building Capacity Among Health Professionals
HHCGA informs individuals and agencies on current health disparities and ways to reduce these disparities. As part of its efforts, HHCGA offers skills development services to organizations who desire to provide high quality, culturally and linguistically appropriate services.
