Georgia State Office of Rural Health (SORH) Flex Grant: 2024 Health Equity Improvement Project Playbook

Welcome to our playbook on advancing health equity through strategic planning for critical access hospitals (CAHs) in Georgia. This was developed and presented by Alliant Health Solutions in collaboration with the Georgia State Office of Rural Health (GA SORH). Initially, the leadership of the GA SORH partnered with Alliant Health Solutions to develop an eight-month Health Equity Improvement project, supported by the Medicare Rural Hospital Flexibility (FLEX) Grant. This initiative aims to assess and address health equity needs in Georgia’s rural hospitals, offering voluntary guidance and training to the state’s 30 identified CAHs to implement necessary improvements in health disparities and social determinants of health affecting their patients and communities.
