The Georgia Health Policy Center (GHPC), housed within Georgia State University's Andrew Young School of Policy Studies, provides evidence-based research, program development, and policy guidance. We work locally, statewide, and nationally to improve health status at the community level.
The GHPC focuses on solutions to complex issues facing health care today including insurance coverage, long-term care, health care reform, children's health, and the development of rural and urban health systems.
Today the center is at work throughout Georgia and in more than 200 communities across the nation, helping communities achieve health improvement.
