Georgians for a Healthy Future

What Georgians for a Healthy Future does

Georgians for a Healthy Future (GHF) is a nonprofit consumer health advocacy organization founded in approximately 2009 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with 13 employees. The organization partners with advocates, communities, and consumers to advance health equity through state-level policy change, focusing on closing Georgia's health coverage gap, expanding Medicaid and PeachCare access, supporting family caregivers, and addressing health care affordability and quality. GHF serves a broad base of Georgia residents including uninsured and underinsured individuals, the 2.5 million family caregivers across the state, Medicaid and PeachCare beneficiaries, and grassroots health care advocates.

GHF's core offerings are programmatic rather than technological. The organization operates the Peach Pulse monthly newsletter, an annual Health Care Unscrambled policy breakfast, the Consumer Health Impact Awards, the Health Insurance Help Center consumer resource, the GEAR enrollment assistance network, the Caregivers Advisory Group, and the Georgia Health Action Network (GHAN) advocacy action alert system. The organization collects consumer health stories to inform policy advocacy, distributes free educational resources through its website (healthyfuturega.org), and leads the Cover Georgia coalition campaign for Medicaid expansion.

GHF operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit funded primarily through donations from individuals, foundations, and supporters. It does not sell products or services and provides all resources free of charge. Distribution is multi-channel: website and blog content, email newsletter, social media, community partnerships, earned media, and public events. The organization partners with the Cover Georgia campaign and the Partner Up! For Public Health campaign, and is governed by Laura Colbert as Executive Director.
