MISSION: To promote health policies in Georgia that improve access to health services for Hispanic/Latino children and adults.

VISION: To be the acknowledged policy leader in Georgia for building health equity for Hispanic/Latinos and for promoting

collaborations with stakeholders supporting under-served communities.

WHO WE ARE: The Hispanic Health Coalition of Georgia, Inc. (HHCGA) is a nonprofit organization created to promote health and social change in the Hispanic/Latino communities. We connect individuals with appropriate organizations and pro-vide 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 aware-

ness 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, advo-

cating to improve access to services, and promoting new policies that protect the rights of Hispanics/Latinos for bet-ter 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.
