The Hispanic Health Coalition of Georgia (HHCGA) is leading the charge in breaking barriers and promoting health equity with their upcoming event: Clarkston Health Equity Day. Slated for September 30th at the Clarkston Resource Hub, this initiative, aptly named "Clarkston Community Connections," promises to be an enlightening blend of education and community engagement from 10 am to 2 pm.
Understanding that communication is the key to successful healthcare access, interpreter services will be on hand to cater to a diverse array of languages. Whether you speak Spanish, Arabic, Swahili, Hindi, or any of the many languages listed, there's a dedicated interpreter ready to assist.

HHCGA isn't working alone. The event will feature table vendors from varied organizations dedicated to community well-being. Attendees can look forward to engaging with the YMCA, Friends of Refugees/Embrace, Refugee Women's Network, Georgia Watch, and, of course, HHCGA.
The event will shine a spotlight on the dedication of Community Health Workers (CHWs) and Promotoras de Salud. Representatives from a rich tapestry of organizations, including the Refugee Women's Network and Clarkston Health Equity Coalition, will be present, ready to guide, assist, and educate.
In a move to foster trust and get genuine insights, the Refugee Women's Network, in collaboration with the Clarkston Resource Hub, has crafted a survey. The idea is to engage with the community during the event, with a more informal approach first, deepening the interaction with families post-event once a rapport is built.
Knowledgeable Health Navigators from institutions such as Georgians for a Healthy Future and HHCGA will be present, ensuring that attendees have the information they need to make informed decisions about their health.
Ensuring maximum reach and participation, a robust promotion plan is in place. This includes a strong social media strategy, community outreach, and translated materials to ensure everyone gets the message.
The event will also see the participation of influential figures in governance and legislation. Invites are out to Congressman Hank Johnson, GA State Senator Kim Jackson, Clarkston Mayor Beverly Burks, and members of the City Council, reinforcing the event's significance.
In essence, Clarkston Health Equity Day is more than just an event. It's a statement, a drive, and a commitment by HHCGA and its partners to ensure everyone, regardless of background, has access to the healthcare they deserve. Join in, connect, learn, and let's make health equity a reality for Clarkston.
