GPHSA

GPHSA’s Executive Director works with the Georgia General Assembly to advocate for the families and children we serve, the resources necessary to protect and care for them, and to advocate for a stronger system of service. A direct component of this advocacy is to advocate for the staff who provide services to Georgia’s families and children. Examples of this work in recent Sessions include advocacy to provide Medicaid to Georgia’s needy citizens, advocacy to protect the staff and supportive resources necessary to serve Georgia’s most vulnerable citizens, promoting understanding of the impact on families and children of furloughs and staff reductions, advocacy to increase adoptions, and a host of other issues.
