🌟 Partner Spotlight: The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority

We are honored to be recognized by The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority following the 2026 Georgia Community Health Worker Network Summit, *Heroes Without Capes: Celebrating the Power of CHWs.*

Their reflections on the Summit highlighted the vital role Community Health Workers (CHWs) play in connecting individuals and families to health education, resources, and services throughout Georgia.

As trusted frontline public health professionals, CHWs help strengthen communities, improve health outcomes, and expand access to care. We are grateful for partners like The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority, who recognize and support this important work.

The Summit brought together CHWs, healthcare leaders, community organizations, and advocates from across the state to learn, collaborate, and celebrate the impact of Georgia's CHW workforce.

Thank you to The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority for standing alongside Community Health Workers and helping elevate awareness of their contributions across Georgia.

☀️ Heat advisory in effect—stay safe and stay cool!



💧 Drink plenty of water (8–10+ glasses) and replace electrolytes if you’re sweating. Avoid alcohol and caffeine. Dress in light, breathable clothing, wear hats and sunglasses, and limit sun exposure during peak hours (10 AM–4 PM).



🏠 Keep your space cool with fans, AC, and closed blinds, and try cooling tricks like chilled pillowcases.



⏰ When possible, plan activities for early morning or evening and take breaks in shade or air-conditioning.



🥗 Choose light meals, fruits, and water-rich foods.



⚠️ Watch for warning signs of heat exhaustion like dizziness, cramps, nausea, or fatigue—cool down and hydrate right away.



💊 If you take medications, check in with your provider, as some can increase heat sensitivity.



🤝 Don’t forget to check on neighbors—especially older adults, those with health conditions, or anyone living alone—to make sure they’re safe and staying cool. Stay aware, stay hydrated, and look out for one another!

This time last week, we attended the Council for Quality Growth 2026 State of the County Address [DeKalb], where CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson outlined a bold and forward-looking vision for one of the communities we serve.

At The Fulton-DeKalb Hospital Authority, we recognize that does not operate in isolation—it intersects with economic development, housing, education, infrastructure, and overall community well-being.

The priorities shared during the State of the County reinforced the critical role cross-sector collaboration plays in building a healthier, more equitable .

The FDHA remains committed to supporting CEO Cochran-Johnson’s vision by supporting initiatives that strengthen healthcare access, address social determinants of health, and foster partnerships across sectors. Together, we are working to ensure that every resident has the opportunity to thrive.

We look forward to continuing this important work alongside county leadership and community partners.

Last week, we proudly celebrated a major milestone at the Atlanta Metropolitan State College Pinning Ceremony for the Certified Phlebotomy Technician Program—honoring students who are now certified phlebotomy technicians and ready to serve our community.

Through FDHA’s investment in a comprehensive workforce pipeline, including targeted scholarships, we are supporting meaningful pathways into critical healthcare careers. These graduates represent more than individual achievement; they are a vital step toward strengthening our local healthcare workforce.

By supporting access to education and training in high-demand fields like phlebotomy, we are building a healthier, more resilient community for the future.

reminds us that: Early support and Recognizing signs matter.

In supporting those efforts, we are proud to have equipped local DeKalb County Government leaders, officials, and personnel with hashtag training—empowering them to identify early warning signs of mental health challenges and respond with confidence and care 💚

By strengthening awareness at the leadership level, we’re building more responsive, compassionate communities where no one’s struggles go unnoticed.

We sincerely thank the DeKalb County workers and officials who were able to attend this critical Mental Health First Aid training—your commitment to recognizing the signs and providing early support is an important step toward building a healthier, more resilient community for all residents.
