Stories from Georgia and Beyond

From vibrant urban neighborhoods to dynamic and resilient rural regions, our partnerships have shaped our research, enriched our teaching, and grounded our practice in real-world experiences. By working hand-in-hand with local leaders, organizations, and public health practitioners, Rollins continues to grow its understanding of the unique challenges and strengths within each community. These relationships not only inform our efforts to advance health equity but also ensure that our solutions are inclusive, impactful, and responsive to the people and places we serve.
