The Coordinated Care Collaborative (C3) was established in 2010 to serve the Fayette County Population. The collaborative is comprised of a lead organization and five partner agencies that work together to provide a wide range of coordinated health and social services. After years of working together informally, the partner organizations began to discuss formalizing the relationship to better serve shared target populations and streamline health and social services already in place. The collaborative takes a holistic approach to healthcare, providing the citizens of Fayette County with access to a network of providers that might otherwise be unavailable to them. This unique network is able to maintain patient confidentiality while providing coordinated care that serves and monitors the needs of the patient. Those treated within the collaborative are able to receive a high level of care that is comparable to those with access to mainstream health and wellness care, which makes C3 an outstanding model for a nonprofit collaborative approach to healthcare delivery.

Healthcare Georgia Foundation Joseph D. Greene Award 2012

Atlanta, GA – May 02, 2012 - Healthcare Georgia Foundation today announced the 2012
recipients of the Joseph D. Greene Community Service Award. The announcements took place during a special ceremony at the opening of Connections 2012: Because Results Matter, the Foundation’s fifth statewide convening of nonprofit grantees, partners, and community leaders. “On behalf of the Board and staff of Healthcare Georgia Foundation, we salute the 2012 recipients of the Joseph D. Greene Community Service Award,” said Gary D. Nelson, PhD, president, Healthcare Georgia Foundation. “Through the dedication and tireless efforts of these heroes for health, Georgians today and tomorrow will benefit greatly from their legacy of servant leadership.”

According to Nelson, “The honorees epitomize the meaning of charity captured in an old proverb, ‘the true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.’ Communities flourish as a result of the efforts of these five individuals and one collaborative and their unselfish service in the promotion of better health and healthcare for under served individuals and communities.”
