Campaign launched to rebuild Georgia's public health system
Atlanta - July 14, 2010 - Supporters of public health in Georgia are launching a campaign aimed at educating policy makers and the public about the need to reinvest in and rebuild the state's system.
The campaign - "Partner Up! For Public Health" - has so far rolled out a Web site (www.togetherwecandobetter.com), organized a statewide advisory board of nearly 30 organizations, and held advocacy Leadership Academies in Tifton, Savannah, Rome and Athens.
The campaign was initiated and funded by Healthcare Georgia Foundation in reaction to nearly a decade of funding cuts that have decimated the state's public health system.
