Advocacy: We Are Your Voice.

Our advocacy efforts give hospitals a voice at the state and federal level, but results happen when all our members join together. We invite you to see how you can aid us in these efforts.

GHA's Quality & Patient Safety department is the Partnership for Health & Accountability (PHA).

PHA was thoughtfully named with the idea that improving health care is a shared responsibility that requires collaboration.

GHA's Center for Rural Health works with members on the latest rural health care initiatives.

Celebrating Rural Health Care

by GHA President Earl Rogers

A recent article reports that nearly 1 in 5 Americans lives in a rural community. Rural America is the backbone of this country; however, many rural communities lack easy access to a hospital. In Georgia, Governor Kemp and the state legislature are committed to making Georgia a leader in rural health care. From the very successful adoption of the Rural Hospital Tax Credit Program to the establishment of the House Rural Development Council and telemedicine initiatives, to physician recruitment, Georgia hospitals are in a better place than even five years ago.

Nov. 19 is National Rural Health Day. On behalf of our Board Chair and longtime rural health care executive, Kevin Bierschenk, GHA extends sincere gratitude to every rural hospital and health care worker. The GHA Center for Rural Health includes 74 member hospitals, which represent nearly half the GHA membership. Like the Governor, his staff, and the legislature, GHA is committed to advancing rural health care. I find it only fitting that National Rural Health Day is celebrated so close to Thanksgiving. I am sure many Georgians will give thanks this holiday season for their local, rural hospital and all the caregivers who provide excellent care to their families.
