Known as the Georgia Partnership for Caring Project (GPC), the program will provide health care to those citizens whose incomes fall under the federal poverty level and who are not covered by public or private insurance programs. The state's major health care provider organizations, several pharmaceutical companies, patient groups, and local governments have joined in partnership to institute the program. The Lt. Governor and Sen. Walker anticipate full implementation of the project by the end of summer and expect to announce the project's commencement date during a press conference in August. "For thousands of working Georgia families, finding health care can be 'Mission Impossible," said Lt. Governor Howard. "The Georgia Partnership for Caring Project will help 'Mission Impossible' become 'Mission Possible." The GPC will be administered by the newly-created, not-for-profit Georgia Partnership for Caring Foundation, Inc. The Foundation's Board of Directors will include representatives from GPC partners along with private citizens and key public officials. The Foundation was created to assist in obtaining health services for those who are otherwise unable to obtain care, and it will serve as a central coordination point for the enrollment of health care providers and the referral of eligible uninsured individuals to those providers for non-emergency health care services. Under the GPC program, eligible patients will call a toll free number and will be referred to a local participating doctor from a network of volunteer physicians and dentists who will donate their time. ings by artists such as Vincent van Gogh and Alice Neel.
