Mission Statement
HMHBGA'S MISSION IS TO IMPROVE MATERNAL AND INFANT HEALTH THROUGH ADVOCACY, EDUCATION AND ACCESS TO VITAL RESOURCES.
About This Cause
Since 1974, Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies Coalition of Georgia (HMHBGA) has been the strongest statewide voice for improved access to healthcare and health outcomes for Georgia’s mothers and babies. During these unprecedented times, we recognize just how critical it is to not only provide direct resources and education to families but also bolster the workforce and reduce systematic barriers to ensure that every mother and child has access to resources for a healthier life. To support this need, HMHBGA is the only organization in the State that focuses on the full spectrum of maternal and child health concerns from prematurity to maternal mortality. As a statewide organization, we honor the diversity of our neighbors in the 159 counties across Georgia and in doing so, provide resources that are relevant to the individual needs of each community. Access to Vital Resources: On behalf of the Georgia Department of Public Health, HMHBGA operates the Georgia Family Healthline, Children 1st high-risk screening line, and Help Me Grow Georgia to provide callers with appropriate referrals and resources across the State. HMHBGA also operates the Prevent Child Abuse Georgia Helpline on behalf of Georgia State University. Advocacy: In a non-partisan role, HMHBGA engages with legislators as well as medical, business and other community organizations to encourage fiscally responsible policies that promote access to care and improved health outcomes for women and children. Education: HMHBGA provides evidence-informed prenatal education across the State through collaboration with other community organizations and clinicians. HMHBGA also works to educate and build capacity for healthcare providers and public health professionals working in maternal and infant health across Georgia.
