This past week, H-STAT was honored to represent student advocacy from across Georgia as a finalist at at the Celebration of Progress & Possibilities, hosted by Georgians for a Healthy Future (Georgians for a Healthy Future)! 🩺💙

H-STAT President, Hridith Sudev, presented on our organization’s work to empower health professional students and highlighted our healthcare model focused on delivering care to marginalized and underserved communities in Georgia. With this presentation, we were incredibly honored to receive the Health Innovation Award for Most Actionable Solution, recognizing H-STAT’s commitment to developing practical, community-centered approaches to advancing health equity.

We are grateful for the opportunity to connect with advocates, community leaders, and organizations working every day to build a healthier and more equitable Georgia. Events like these remind us of the power of collaboration and the important role students can play in shaping the future of health policy. Thank you to Georgians for a Healthy Future for bringing together such an inspiring community of changemakers!

🚨 H-STAT GA has signed on.
We’re proud to join 194 health advocacy organizations urging Congress to fund health care — not attacks on immigrants and communities.
H.R. 1 cut over $1 trillion from Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and the ACA — while massively expanding ICE and CBP funding. The result: 1M+ people have already lost care, millions are paying ~$1,000 more in premiums, and 51,000+ preventable deaths are projected annually.
Fear of immigration enforcement is keeping people from prenatal visits, cancer screenings, and essential care. This is a public health crisis.
We’re calling on Congress to restore these cuts, protect health care access for all, and end policies that weaponize fear in our communities.
