Georgia rural health plan
Georgia Rural Enhancement And Transformation of Health (GREAT Health) Program is a grant to support value-based care uptake in the State of Georgia strengthening the healthcare access and the workforce.
Initiatives, as the state's abstract names them (page 16):
- Transforming for a Sustainable Health System
- Strengthening the Continuum of Care
- Connecting to Care to Improve Healthcare Access
- Growing a Highly Skilled Healthcare Workforce
- Leveraging Technology for Healthcare Innovation
CMS says the abstract budgets are illustrative and are not award amounts, so none are shown.

About this data
County rates are CDC PLACES model-based estimates of adults, built from the CDC BRFSS survey and Census population data. State and US figures are BRFSS survey results for the same year. They are not averages of counties, and small differences may not be meaningful.
Shortage rows are HRSA designations with status Designated. Scores run from 0 to 25 (0 to 26 for dental); a higher score means greater need. Hospitals are acute care and critical access hospitals CMS lists in the county, with 30-day rates of unplanned readmission. Health centers are active HRSA-funded and look-alike sites.
Rural health plan initiatives are copied as the state wrote them. Nothing here is medical advice.
