Community Health
CPACS Community Health, Prevention, and Victim Services commit to reducing and eliminating disparities while achieving optimal health in the refugee, immigrant, and underserved communities in the state of Georgia by providing comprehensive health services, outreach, education, and awareness for community members.
Our Health Equity and Access team delivers on the pillars of Response, Policy, and Prevention. We ensure equitable access
by creating programs that address the target population’s needs and thoroughly understand its unique characteristics.
The departments and programs under the Health Equity and Access branch serve as critical service points for our community by providing a culturally aware and competent approach that assists clients.
