Health & Human Services Priority Area

Creating a healthy community depends on three factors: the adoption of healthy behaviors, the availability and quality of the healthcare services, and the physical environment in which individuals and families live, work, and play. In addition, Fulton County is committed to providing a safe space where our most vulnerable population can receive the care and community support they need. Health & Human services are critical to the vitality of its community. The County is also striving to decrease health disparity and increase health equity throughout by incorporating the "Health in All Policies" to mitigate health issues.

“We will improve our quality of life. We will eliminate food deserts. We will improve access to affordable housing, and we will fight for environmental justice. Also, we will fight for Grady and our community health clinics to make sure we serve the people where they are so, as one great leader said, they can ‘live until they die.’ "
Commissioner Bob Ellis, District 2
"Fostering a healthy community is a collaborative effort where the County establishes access to resources which allows residents to engage and thrive across the health spectrum."
