Gwinnett Cares: Nurturing Hope, Community, and Equity

What is Gwinnett Cares?

Our health equity initiative, Gwinnett Cares, aims to connect residents with community-based organizations that offer vital support, fostering prosperity during times of need.

Through collaboration with local nonprofits, we’ve effectively streamlined communication to reach Gwinnett’s population of over a million people. We inform our community about essential resources and services such as healthcare, food, housing, education, multicultural assistance, employment, and business resources.

Gwinnett Cares also plays a pivotal role in promoting vaccine education and ensuring health equity, linking all citizens to the necessary healthcare resources for them to lead their best lives.

Please note: Gwinnett Cares does not directly provide services or financial assistance. Our mission is to connect you with nonprofit agencies and service providers specialized in the areas where you require support.

Why do we focus on achieving Health Equity?

Access to healthcare is a fundamental right that should be available to everyone, regardless of their ethnic, socio-economic, cultural, gender, or nationality background. It is important that we strive for health equity, in which every individual in our society is provided with a just and equal chance to access healthcare.
However, not everyone enjoys equal access to healthcare. According to the 2022 National Healthcare Quality and Disparities Report, non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native groups and Hispanic groups are significantly less likely to be insured.

Individuals without insurance often lack a primary care provider and struggle to afford essential healthcare services and medications. Further studies have demonstrated that uninsured individuals are less likely than those with insurance to receive preventative care, as well as treatment for major health conditions and chronic diseases.

This is why we are dedicated to achieving health equity in Gwinnett County. We aim to provide residents with the necessary information and connections needed to access affordable healthcare.
