GCCN works to improve patients’ access to quality health care and is a vital support system and advocate for the state’s charitable health care providers. The GCCN mission is to build collaborative partnerships that will assist in the delivery of compassionate health care to low income Georgians. The organization’s goals are to unify providers serving vulnerable populations through advocacy, education, and collaborations; strengthen Georgia’s safety net; and assist in the development of services in areas of the high unmet need. Currently, GCCN serves the free and charitable clinics across all regions and demographics of Georgia.
