states in the nation, we are here to work with you
to create a culture of change so that our children
and children’s children may live longer, happier,
healthier lives.

As a local non-profit, we realize
our success lies in our ability to
evolve and adapt our strategic
planning with our mission’s
growing needs.
Now entering into our second
decade, Community Health
Works (CHW) continues our successful evolution to meet
the health needs of Central Georgia and the ever-changing
landscape of healthcare.
With Georgia being named one of the unhealthiest
states in the Nation, we have our work cut out for us. In
addition to serving the under- and un-insured through
programs like our Rx for the Uninsured and the Central
Georgia Cancer Coalition, we also realize the importance
of preventative care to alleviate the burden on our health
systems and create healthier communities.
New projects this year like the Mulberry Street Market
in downtown Macon and the International City Farmers’
Market in Warner Robins have local residents eating
fresher, local produce. And in turn, local farmers are
producing more local foods. We added the convenience of
a card reader at each of those markets so patrons can now
use debit, credit and EBT cards. And with our grant
through Wholesome Wave Georgia, we are able to double
the dollars of EBT users so they are receiving more healthy
options for their buck.
In addition to eating right, we are also working on the
other component of the equation—staying active. We
proudly partnered with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to
implement Strong4Life in Macon, which is a statewide
effort to improve child wellness and address the childhood
obesity epidemic by helping guide local implementation of
policy, systems and environment improvements in Macon.
This spring, we held our first Strong4Life “Unplugged”
event in Macon’s Central City Park. The hundreds in
attendance learned how to turn off the sedentary
distractions and take the fun outside with physical activity
that the entire family can enjoy.
We continue to facilitate and engage local health
advocates in our surrounding counties through quarterly
meetings spurred from our annual Central Georgia Health
Summit. This year, Crawford County implemented a
beautiful walking trail. Bibb County schools are serving
locally grown strawberries (and making it fun). And
Houston County is breaking ground on a series of
community gardens. That is only the beginning.
I am proud to report to the community on our most
recent expansions of work in health advocacy throughout
the state. While our focus remains our core seven Central
Georgia counties—Bibb, Houston, Monroe, Twiggs,
Peach, Jones and Crawford—our service area now extends
to 56 counties from the center of the state to the coast.
We have also increased our staff and bring a variety of
talent to the table in order to meet the demands and skills
of our broadening mission of regional integration of whole
person healthcare. Our organization is strongly equipped
to focus on our vision of better health for all people
through communities working together.
Vibrant cities are healthy cities. From the successful
introduction of healthy choices at an early age in the
classroom to creating a built environment that encourages
active, outdoor physical fitness, Central Georgia will
prosper if wellness leads the way.
Greg Dent
President & CEO, Community Health Works
“Community health works. And the reason it works so well is because of all the connection
and the trust and the contributions that everybody has made to everybody else’s work.
We talk in our mission statement about regional integration of whole person healthcare:
regional—you have to bring people together; whole person—means both the body and
the mind. It’s the collaboration that makes Community Health Works work.”

Coordinating Care for the Underserved
Community Health Works
for Prescription Assistance
For those in Central Georgia who struggle to pay for
prescription drugs every month, Community Health
Works is working to help.
One of CHW’s most well-known programs is the
Patient Pharmaceutical Prescription Assistance Program
(PPAP) that assists un-insured and under-insured Middle
Georgians with obtaining their prescription medications
at a free or reduced cost. Working directly with pharmaceutical companies, CHW helps ease the burden of
expensive drug costs and has assisted these individuals
with obtaining millions of dollars in free or low-cost
prescription drugs for the treatment of major chronic
illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, and asthma.
Upon meeting eligibility requirements, CHW will
complete PPAP forms for medications that customers
qualify to receive. CHW will work with the customer and
the doctor to submit required information to the drug
companies. If approved, drug companies may provide up
to a 90-day supply of medication.
In Macon, the program operates out of the Macon
Housing Authority’s Family Investment Center. In
Warner Robins, it operates out of the Warner Robins
Volunteer Clinic.
2010 375 patients served ($1,524,720.50 in medications)
2011 To-Date: 257 patients served
($595,594.68 in medications)
In October 2011, Community Health Works was
presented with the Community Service Award from the
Macon-Bibb NAACP Branch for its work with prescription assistance at the Macon Housing Authority’s Family
Investment Center.
Community Health Works

Partners in Food Access
This spring, two outdoor markets sprung up that have
become heralded community events. With partners
Macon Roots and the City of Macon, the Mulberry Street
Market happens every Wednesday in downtown Macon in
front of the Grand Opera House. With partners Houston
Healthcare and the City of Warner Robins, the International City Farmers’ Market takes place every Thursday at
the corner of Watson Boulevard and S. Davis Drive in
Warner Robins. Both producers-only markets now accept
credit, debit and EBT cards at the Community Health
Works tent, where cards are swiped and redeemed for
wooden tokens, accepted by the vendors. Through a grant
from Wholesome Wave Georgia, EBT users on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (i.e. SNAP) are able
to double their purchase dollars and bring fresher foods to
the table.

Since implementing the card reader in July 2011, over
$5,000 worth of fresh foods have been purchased by
EBT users.
With the success of the community markets, CHW is
taking the next step with one of Georgia’s first-ever Veggie
Vans taking locally-grown produce to the food desserts of
Central Georgia. The Veggie Van program debuted in the
Fall 2011. Using a retro-fitted ambulance that was donated
by Mid GA Ambulance and funded by corporate sponsors
like Robins Federal Credit Union, it is currently serving
the under-served populations of Bibb County in areas
where there is a lack of access to fresh, wholesome foods.
This winter, when the farming season comes to a close, the
Veggie Van will bring fitness resources and outdoor recreation opportunities to these same areas.
Partners in Strong4Life
Community Health Works has partnered with Children’s
Healthcare of Atlanta to implement Strong4Life in Macon,
which is a statewide effort to improve child wellness and
address the childhood obesity epidemic by helping guide
local implementation of policy, systems and environmental improvements in Macon. Together, Children’s
Healthcare of Atlanta and CHW are bringing a variety of
Strong4Life programs to Macon to teach our kids about
the Strong4Life Healthy Habits, working to ensure that
everyone in their lives—including family, schools, physicians and the community—are on board to give the
support they need to make simple nutrition and activity
changes in their lives.
Five Central Georgia counties participated in Central
Georgia Unplugged, a free event which took place to
promote physical fitness and healthy habits for children
and parents.
How Community Health Works!

Assessing the Needs
and Aligning the Care
The Central Georgia Stroke Coalition,
a Focused Initiative of Community Health Works
Beginning in February 2010, Community Health
Works partnered with the North Central Health District to organize the Central Georgia Stroke Coalition
(CGSC), a 13-county collaborative of healthcare
providers and major hospitals working together to
better coordinate health resources and services across
the stroke care continuum— from prevention and acute
care to rehabilitation.
CHW is now leading conversations across healthcare
institutions and county lines that will align healthcare
providers in the prevention and treatment of stroke
incidences. More than 35 healthcare partners comprise
the founding membership of the Central Georgia
Stroke Coalition.
To date, the CGSC has developed a strategic plan,
which addresses preventative methods as well as acute and
sub-acute care for stroke patients. The coalition analyzes
the current system of stroke care through a SWOT
Analysis (strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats)
and has identified numerous opportunities for collaboration and improvement across the system of care as a direct
result of the Stroke Coalition’s formation. Currently, the
coalition is working to spread information about preventative methods through various media outlets and by the
recent formation of a CGSC speaker’s bureau.
Recently, CHW began leading initiatives for the
South Georgia Stroke Coalition by aiding in the creation
of a strategic plan for the South Georgia regional stroke
systems of care.
“I believe in an organization like Community
Health Works because there is indeed a
connection between a healthy community and
a community that is viable from the economic
development standpoint. Having a healthy
community truly lends itself to workforce
development and economic development
throughout Middle Georgia.”

The Central Georgia Cancer Coalition has been charged
with reducing the number of Georgians exposed to the
harmful effects of tobacco and to enhance infrastructure
and resources for reducing tobacco exposure. In partnership with the American’s for Nonsmoker’s Rights and the
American Cancer Society, the Breathe Easy Macon cam-
Nationwide, there is a new diagnosis every three minutes
and a death from breast cancer every 14 minutes. While
advances have been made in prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, early detection still affords the best
opportunity for successful treatment. Programs such as
Central Georgia Cancer Coalition’s Tata Sisterhood help
ensure that all women have access to early detection
information and options, even poor and medically
underserved women.

paign was launched in spring 2011 to inform the residents
of Macon and Bibb County about the health dangers of
exposure to secondhand smoke.
In April 2011, results from the Bibb County Smoking
Survey, conducted by the Survey Research Center at the
University of Georgia, was released where 70.2 percent
of Bibb County residents were reported to favor a law
prohibiting smoking in all public places with specific
guidelines for allowing smoking around establishments
serving the public.
As part of the continued grassroots effort for Breathe
Easy Macon, the Community Health Works facilitated
public meetings to engage public discussion on proposed
legislation that would decrease the risk of exposure to secondhand smoke in public places throughout all of Macon.
In January 2011, the Avon Breast Health Outreach
Program awarded the Central Georgia Cancer Coalition a
$60,000 one-year grant to increase awareness of the lifesaving benefits of early detection of breast cancer.
The breast cancer education and outreach program the
“Tata Sisterhood” was developed. In addition to raising
awareness, the program refers under- or un-insured
women, who are ages 40 to 64 and household income is
200 percent and below the Federal Poverty Guideline, to
low-cost or free mammograms and clinical breast exams
in their own communities and provides a streamlined
referral process to link women to available preventative
and primary care services.
Since creating and implementing the Tata Sisterhood,
the Central Georgia Cancer Coalition has assisted
571 unique patients, 40 of which had diagnostic testing
beyond the initial screening for a total of over
617 procedures.
The Tata Sisterhood continues to market its resources
to communities throughout the state. A breast health education booklet was also developed and is offered to
healthcare professionals and partnering organizations.
Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in
women in the United States, and the leading single cause
of death overall in women between the ages of 40 and 55.

Establishing a Regional Center
for Health Innovation
Community Health Works for Health Information Technology
In 2008, Community Health Works set a lofty goal
of facilitating regional implementation and integration
of Electronic Health Records (EHR) throughout
CHW’s service area.
At the time, the CDC estimated that only 4.4 percent of
office based physicians were using a fully functional EHR
system. In furtherance of this goal, in 2010 Community
Health Works partnered with the National Center for
Primary Care at Morehouse School of Medicine to serve as
a Georgia Health Information Technology Regional Extension Center (HITREC) Resource for Central Georgia.
As a designated sub-recipient of the federal HITREC
program, CHW’s Health Information Technology
(HIT) Department is charged with assisting Priority
Primary Care Providers in better understanding new
federal regulations and incentive programs around
the adoption of EHR systems. CHW also provides
comprehensive technical assistance through the
process of selecting, purchasing, implementing
and fully utilizing EHR systems. CHW has
brought on board a team of highly skilled Clinical
Workflow Specialists with backgrounds in
nursing, education, health services, IT and other
areas that can provide hands-on assistance to practices in modifying medical practice workflows to
become Meaningful Users of their EHR systems.
Once providers achieve Meaningful Use as defined by
the federal government, CHW assists providers in
qualifying and applying for federal incentive programs
that will help defer the cost of the providers’ initial
investment in their EHR system.
CHW began its work with the HITREC program
in 2010 servicing 23 counties in Central
Georgia. Since that time, CHW has
expanded its reach to nearly 70 Georgia
counties. As of November 2011, CHW is
providing assistance to approximately 500
primary care providers and has lead
approximately 300 providers to fully

implement an EHR system. CHW has also lead Georgia
by assisting four of Georgia’s seven Meaningful Use
Vanguards of EHR technology.
The Bigger Picture
CHW does not assist in the implementation of Health IT
just for the sake of technology but as part of the solution to
bigger problems. By implementing, integrating and meaningfully using EHR technology and other forms of Health
IT, CHW can help improve health outcomes and positively
impact the cost curve of healthcare within our community.

Turning Partnerships into Action Plans
Community Health Works for Central Georgia
The Central Georgia Regional Health Summit isn’t just
an annual event; it’s a year-long movement. A multiyear initiative and seven-county collaborative, the
Central Georgia Regional Health Summit (CGRHS)
prioritizes health and wellness initiatives in Central
Georgia communities.
Now in its third year, the Central Georgia Regional
Health Summit (CGRHS) has established an annual tradition to collaborate with a wide-ranged group of engaged
citizens and establish solutions to tackle our most imminent health concerns. Bringing Central Georgia’s seven
counties together—Bibb, Houston, Monroe, Jones, Peach,
Crawford and Twiggs—as well as top minds in healthcare
and health policy, local government, the K-12 school
districts, the faith-based community and various civic
organizations, the CGRHS is establishing community-led
action plans to prevent and reduce the impact of chronic
diseases associated with obesity, sedentary lifestyle,
tobacco use and other unhealthy behaviors found
throughout the region.
At the annual fall conference event, residents, community leaders and representatives from healthcare,
education, government, agriculture and nutrition convene
and work together in moving wellness to the top of their
communities’ agenda. From there, quarterly follow-up
meetings are held in each of the seven counties where
participants re-convene and assess their community’s
progress, working together, across sectors, to reduce
obesity and unhealthy behaviors and support healthy
living through local programs, policies and improvements
to the built environment.
As the host agency and facilitator, CHW has been
meeting quarterly within Bibb County and each of the
six surrounding target counties to discuss the region
and county’s most pressing health issues as they relate
to wellness within the community, school system
and workplace.
To date, more than 350 individuals from across seven
Central Georgia counties are working closely with CHW
staff and partners to develop community action plans to
end obesity and prevent chronic disease in the region by
supporting efforts to play, work and live healthy every day.
Beginning in November of 2009, CHW partnered with
HealthTeacher, a leading provider of online health education resources for kindergarten through 12th grade
classrooms, to provide web-based curriculum and tools
for teachers to infuse health education into instruction
time, regardless of the subject being taught. CHW currently sponsors HealthTeacher curriculum, which focuses
on teaching healthy choices and behaviors, for all seven
county’s K-12 public school districts, resulting in 109
schools utilizing 1,480 lesson plans during the 2011–2012
school year alone.
Among Central Georgia’s 2011 Healthy Achievements
Crawford County implements walking trail; hosts Senior Health
Expo; and provides educational toys and materials for summer
nutrition program.
Bibb County hosts Mulberry Street Market with the help of
Macon Roots, the City of Macon and CHW. Over 20 producersonly vendors currently participate; Implements Farm-to-School
program where fresh, locally-grown strawberries are integrated
into the school menu at Ingram-Pye Elementary.
Houston County hosts International City Farmers’ Market with
the help of Houston Healthcare, the City of Warner Robins and
CHW; Volunteers are currently working on community gardens.
Twiggs County hosts “Live Healthy in Faith” training, a free
course for religious and community leaders; hosts the Twiggs
Walkathon in November.
Jones County implements a “healthy tips” section in Jones
County newspaper; hosts Pedal to the Park event and minihealth fair in November.
Monroe County hosts a community-wide health fair with an
all-day health expo and wellness vendors.
Peach County holds inaugural Holiday Healthy Challenge among
city and county government officials for Fort Valley, Byron and
Peach County.
