Across Georgia, more than 1.2 million people live without health insurance. For them, getting sick can mean choosing between care and groceries—or going without care entirely. Prevent Blindness Georgia, part of the Georgia Charitable Care Network, - provides healthcare with compassion, dignity, and impact. Our clinic provides care for uninsured patients at an average cost of less than $10 per patient encounter, just 8% of the cost of an average Medicaid visit.

When you give monthly, you’re not just helping patients; you’re strengthening our community. Visit https://onecau.se/pbga and DONATE TODAY.

PBGA is declaring February as Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Low Vision Month! According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, AMD is the most common cause of severe loss of eyesight among people 50 and older. And, about 4 million Americans live with low vision, which cannot be corrected with glasses, contact lenses, or medical treatment.

PBGA offers a variety of programs and resources for those living with AMD and low vision, and for those supporting loved ones with these vision disorders. Visit: PreventBlindness.org/amd

For many children, the classroom is a blur. This year in Georgia, 1 in 4 students failed their vision screenings - that’s over 434,000 kids struggling to see clearly.
