| OUR STORY | ||||
| CMAP's mission is to help build healthier communities focusing primarily on Coastal Georgia through programs that increase access to healthcare. This is accomplished through collaboration among the medical community, faith-based organizations, local businesses and volunteers. CMAP serves residents of Coastal Georgia who are uninsured or underinsured. Approximately 24,000 people in Camden, Glynn and McIntosh counties who do not have health insurance and thousands more under-insured individuals may be helped by CMAP programs. These folks are not on Medicaid or Medicare. They are working usually 2-3 jobs and none of their employers offer health insurance. We also serve people who are retired, have worked all their lives but are not quite old enough for Medicare. These people are our friends, neighbors, relatives, and employees. They are the people who mow our lawns, wait on our tables, and look just like us. In other words, CMAP serves our community. The problem: The combined population of Camden, Glynn and McIntosh counties is over 128,000 people. The 2003 percent of population living below the poverty level ranged between 10.8 in Camden and 17.4 in McIntosh. CMAP Volunteer Physicians are generous- more than 70 Volunteer MDs serve our patients. However, too often uninsured and underinsured residents use the hospital emergency department for non-emergency services. This overwhelms hospital emergency services and is costly. The Solution: CMAP leader partnerships formed with pastors and their faith communities, housing authority officials, service organizations, private businesses, the Southeast Georgia Health System, Coastal Health District, Georgia's Department of Family and Children's Services, school systems, and volunteers to assist in the planning, design, and implementation of CMAP services. Together we provide: |
