We were proud to attend the “Partnering for Patient Care” Annual Showcase Event this week hosted by Memorial Health University Medical Center.

Events like this highlight how important connection and collaboration are in building a stronger, more responsive community. When healthcare providers and community organizations come together, it creates more opportunities for individuals, especially people with disabilities, to access the services, supports, and resources they need.

Awareness leads to access. And access leads to independence.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share, learn, and continue building partnerships that help move our community forward.

“Part of the problem is that we tend to think that equality is about treating everyone the same, when it’s not. It’s about fairness. It’s about equity of access.”

The wildfire in Brantley County is impacting communities across Southeast Georgia.

If you are in or near Brantley County, it's imperative to monitor Brantley County Sheriff's Office, and Georgia Forestry Commission for updates for changing evacuation zones. These fires are moving quickly, and conditions could worsen if winds shift. Residents in affected areas should be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

Also check the Brantley County Family Connection and UGA Extension Brantley County pages for additional information, resources and donations needed.

An Outdoor Burn Ban Issued for South Georgia for the 91 counties in the lower half of the state. This is the first mandatory burn ban in Georgia Forestry Commission history. It is effective immediately and will remain in place for at least 30 days.

This means:
No prescribed burns
No burning yard debris
No agricultural burning

We know emergencies like this can be especially challenging for people with disabilities, their families, and support networks. Access to timely, reliable information and planning ahead can make a critical difference.
