Georgia hospitals are lifelines for our communities — serving as trusted sources of care, major economic anchors, and essential institutions that support the health and stability of the regions they serve. The Georgia Hospital Association (GHA) is proud to partner with nearly every hospital in our state, working together to improve the health of all Georgians.

Now in my third year as President and CEO, I am proud of the GHA team’s continued commitment to serving our members with our newly adopted guiding statement at the forefront of everything we do:

“The Georgia Hospital Association will shape a healthier Georgia by serving as the leading advocate and supporter for all Georgia hospitals and health systems.”

Guided by this mission, GHA works alongside our hospitals to preserve and protect access to high-quality healthcare, expand access to critical behavioral health resources, advance and safeguard healthcare liability reform, advocate for policies that sustain rural hospitals, and strengthen and grow our healthcare workforce.

Every day, hospital leaders, clinicians, caregivers, and their teams work tirelessly to provide care for Georgians in every corner of our state. GHA is honored to serve as their advocate — advancing meaningful healthcare policy, engaging in critical policy discussions, offering educational opportunities, and keeping our members informed on the issues that matter most.

We all share the goal of a healthier Georgia. GHA will continue working to ensure that hospitals remain a clear and visible symbol of community support, high-quality care, and economic prosperity across our state.

Sincerely,
Caylee Noggle
