Tackling Health Inequities Through Collaboration and Community-Based Care
Fulton County leaders tackle healthcare disparities by forming partnerships and enhancing access, aiming for equitable health solutions in Georgia.
Pamela Roshell, Ph.D., and LaTrina Foster spoke with Managed Healthcare Executive in a video interview series. Access to healthcare in Fulton County, Georgia, can depend heavily on where a person lives.
The southern part of the county faces a life expectancy that is seven years shorter than the north, a reflection of deep structural inequities worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic and hospital closures.
County leaders are now working to rebuild that safety net—one partnership and one program at a time.
Pamela Roshell, Ph.D., chief operating officer for Fulton County Government, noted that two major events reshaped the local health landscape.
- Forming partnerships to address healthcare disparities
- Enhancing access to healthcare in underserved communities
