Since 1979, certificate-of-need (CON) programs in Georgia have restricted the supply of health care by keeping providers from expanding their reach or services without approval from state regulators. Health care providers have been denied approval to expand care to all corners of the state and reach our most vulnerable patients. To learn more about CON, click HERE.

Birthing centers are also blocked by the CON. In just the last couple of years, Augusta residents lost access to Augusta Birthing Center because of this outdated CON policy. Click HERE to see the details! This is bad news considering Georgia's infant mortality rate (as of 2020) ranked among the highest in the United States, with some rural locales ranking behind some third-world countries.

Join the effort to repeal CON and ensure patients have access to care—especially expecting mothers.
