Gwinnett Health Finder

With our Gwinnett Health Finder, powered by the Gwinnett Coalition in partnership with GNR Public Health, Gwinnett’s uninsured and underinsured population can find and access quality, affordable healthcare.

Gwinnett Health Equity Fund

In order to help residents access healthcare, we must first help ease the cost of service. Contribution to our Health Equity Fund helps cover the costs of healthcare services, both mental and physical, through our partnerships with Gwinnett Health Finder providers. Invest – Gwinnett Coalition

Health Literacy Education and Community Engagement

Our health literacy education and community outreach efforts are designed to empower Gwinnett residents with vital knowledge and equip them with resources to improve their health.

Through partnerships with various community organizations, we engage directly with residents, provide culturally relevant information, and offer practical support—connecting individuals to free and low-cost health resources, including free onsite vaccinations, health screenings, and essential health information.

Infant and Maternal Mortality (IMM) Action Team:

The state of Georgia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the United States, an alarming statistic that deserves a priority response. The Gwinnett Coalition’s Infant & Maternal Mortality (IMM) Action Team was established in 2019 to address this issue. The IMM Action Team aims to improve the health and well-being of mothers in Gwinnett County by increasing access to quality prenatal and postnatal care, providing education and prevention services to healthcare providers and the community, promoting maternal mental health, supporting the Safe to Sleep Campaign and introducing evidence-based group prenatal care programs.
