HomeTown Health & Georgia Partnership for Telehealth (GPT) hosted a dynamic meeting of eight Georgia businesses who are all partnering to implement the TeleConnect GA for Better Health(TCGBH) Program. TCGBH is a collaborative effort through the use of telemedicine and broadband adoption to improve the declining health of rural Georgians. GPT received a grant to create training and outreach program for residents and healthcare providers to improve health and healthcare delivery in the state?s 91 designated ?counties of persistent poverty.? TeleConnect Georgia for Better Health (TCGBH) is made possible by the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program and is funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Leveraging the strengths of state government agencies, the private sector, and educational and nonprofit organizations, the project proposes targeted outreach to economically vulnerable populations including school children, low-income residents, senior citizens, and at-risk youth to address poor health and lack of high quality health care.

HomeTown Health, a network of 55 rural hospitals in Georgia, has been an integral partner with Georgia Partnership for Telehealth in the execution of this grant, as well as the integration of all partners? roles, and also evaluating each partner?s goals and objectives for the BTOP grant.

?We are so excited & honored to be partnering with Georgia Partnership for Telehealth on this far reaching initiative that will deliver better health outcomes to rural Georgians who need better access to medical care,” said Kathy Whitmire, managing director for HomeTown Health, LLC.

Partners were apprised of the new developments, new targets to achieve within the specified goals & objectives in the BTOP grant , as well as the upcoming Marketing Awareness Campaign where the mascot, Peachy, will be visiting schools to share information, fun activities and free giveaways so children can learn how broadband is used to help them stay healthy.

As the overall objective of the TeleConnect Georgia program began to unfold, all of the partners were able to understand each of their contributions to the greater BTOP grant goal of increased broadband adoption throughout Georgia. The eight strategic partners currently involved with the BTOP grant are:
