Since 1994, the Cobb & Douglas Health Foundation has been dedicated to supporting Cobb & Douglas Public Health by providing financial, fundraising, and advocacy efforts in their mission “to promote and protect the health and safety of the residents of Cobb and Douglas counties.”
While tax dollars provide a foundation of support, they are not enough. That’s why over 40%—about $12 million each year—of Cobb & Douglas Public Health funding comes from fees and generous contributions made by individuals, businesses, civic groups, and foundations. These funds are essential to continue the work in protecting public health.
The board takes a strategic approach to make the greatest impact where it’s needed most. Fundraising efforts are focused on critical health issues facing Cobb and Douglas County residents. Key priorities include improving outcomes for minority maternal and infant health, preventing childhood injuries, improving outcomes for chronic conditions and ensuring access to quality healthcare.
Together, with community partners, Cobb & Douglas Health Foundation aims to build a healthier community where every resident of Cobb and Douglas counties can access services to achieve their most optimal health. Join us in making a difference—your support is crucial to our shared success and the brighter future of our community.
