WHO WE ARE
The Hispanic Health Coalition of Georgia, Inc. (HHCGA) is a nonprofit organization created to promote health and social change in Hispanic/Latino communities. We connect individuals with appropriate organizations and provide leadership and advocacy on health issues affecting the Hispanic/Latino communities. Because Georgia has the third fastest-growing Latino population of any state in the nation, HHCGA recognizes the need for increased awareness of health issues faced by the Hispanic/Latino communities. HHCGA continues to be a vehicle of information-sharing and networking that includes professionals working with Spanish-speaking clients from all sectors of health and human services in Georgia. Our program activities focus on strengthening the community by conveying cultural, linguistic and professional knowledge to organizations, advocating to improve access to service, and promoting new policies that protect the rights of Hispanics/Latinos for better health and improve their health access. We seek to empower the Hispanic/Latino community to achieve optimum health and well being, which in turn, improves the future for all citizens of Georgia. |
