Healing Bridge Clinic Joins Statewide “Compassion Heals” Campaign to Expand Healthcare Access for Uninsured Georgians

[Peachtree City, GA] — The Healing Bridge Clinic is proud to announce its participation in “Compassion Heals,” a landmark statewide awareness campaign launched by the Georgia Charitable Care Network (GCCN). This initiative is designed to strengthen the state’s healthcare safety net by amplifying the reach of volunteer-driven clinics like the Healing Bridge Clinic, ensuring that every uninsured Georgian has a path to high-quality, professional care.

Georgia currently faces one of the highest uninsured rates in the United States. More than 1.2 million residents – roughly one in eight Georgians – lack health insurance. Many of these individuals are hardworking adults caught in the “coverage gap,” earning too much for Medicaid but not enough to afford soaring private insurance premiums.

By joining the “Compassion Heals” campaign, the Healing Bridge Clinic is shining a light on the local impact of this crisis and the tangible solutions provided by community-supported clinics.

A Unified Voice for Healthcare

The “Compassion Heals” campaign utilizes a strategic, multi-platform approach to connect with those in need and the donors who make their care possible:

• High-Visibility Outreach: Billboards across Metro Atlanta and targeted radio advertisements in Central Georgia.
• Digital Unity: A synchronized social media initiative across the GCCN’s network of clinics, creating a singular, powerful message of hope.
• Local Impact: For the Healing Bridge Clinic, this means increased visibility for their specialized services, including cardiology, dermatology, dental, addiction and mental health counseling, physical therapy, podiatry, and women’s wellness. 

The Healing Bridge Clinic and its fellow GCCN members are not only lifelines for patients but a significant benefit to Georgia taxpayers. These clinics treat uninsured patients for just 6% to 8% of the cost of a Medicaid patient.

By providing preventative care and chronic disease management, the network of clinics helps   save Georgians millions of dollars annually by reducing the burden on overstretched hospital emergency rooms.

“At the Healing Bridge Clinic, we have always believed that healthcare is about more than just a prescription – it’s about restoring hope and dignity to our neighbors. Joining the Georgia Charitable Care Network’s ‘Compassion Heals’ campaign is a powerful milestone for us,” stated Executive Director Mike Conaway. “This partnership reinforces our commitment to ensuring that no one in our community must choose between their health and their livelihood. We are proving that when we lead with empathy, compassion truly becomes a catalyst for healing.”

The “Compassion Heals” campaign is a call to action for our local community. Support from donors and volunteers ensures that no neighbor is left without care, regardless of their income or insurance status.
