2017 is going out with a bang: major hurricanes plaguing the south and northeast, fires raging all over the west coast and north west—it is a time of great uncertainty and loss for so many Georgians and other Americans. But these events bring out the best in all of us, and showcase how our health care system mobilizes and responds to extraordinary events. Countless medical and health care professionals volunteered their time to staff emergency clinics, assist hospitals overwhelmed with patients and safety issues, and worked in emergency shelters throughout the country. It is humbling and exhilarating to watch what happens when people pull together in the same direction to address challenges.

Denise D. Kornegay, MSW Georgia Statewide AHEC Network Executive Director

But we should not have to experience loss and trauma to motivate us to work together. We have so many pressing needs that require us all to sacrifice, innovate, and collaborate to create the change needed. And we have unique opportunities before us. During the fall of 2017 the Georgia General Assembly has hosted numerous health and rural health committees and task forces, each seeking solutions to Georgia’s health care and rural economic development challenges. From these groups, numerous solutions have been identified and the opportunity to innovate, create, and refashion our strategies has occurred. In looking at strategies to improve the rural health economies, we looked at the economic impact of rural health professions workforce. In 2015, there were 19,021 total physicians in Georgia. Collectively, they supported: • an estimated 88,037 direct jobs, • an estimated 117,832 indirect jobs, • an estimated total of 205,869 jobs supported by the physician industry- or an average of 10.8 jobs per doctor. Source: The Economic Impact of Physicians in Georgia State Report, Published: March 2014 Prepared

The impact on Sales Tax and Revenues are impressive. In 2015, $29.7 billion in Sales Revenues were generated by physicians, representing 6.8% of the GSP/GDP in Georgia. Georgia physicians supported $16.6 billion in Wages and Benefits for their employees and created an estimated 205,869 jobs. They generated an estimated $1.1 billion in local and state tax revenues.

So not only does increasing the healthcare workforce in the state create a healthier and more competitive workforce, the placement of providers in rural and underserved communities serve as a powerful economic development engine for those areas. Healthcare workforce supply and distribution are not the only challenges in our state, but they are clearly among the top issues that must be addressed. We

need to systematically review our programs and initiatives, calculate returns on investments, and be prepared to boldly implement changes to create the outcomes our state needs. This is an unsettled time in our country. Politics seem at their worst, yet some incredibly bright minds are in key positions to initiate change. We must de-politicize healthcare and accept that all of us are quite vulnerable to the costs and access issues surrounding the receipt of qualified and high quality care. We have the best healthcare knowledge and skills in the world, but we have not found a system acceptable to the American people wherein to deliver health care effectively. We are making healthcare decisions based on politics rather than on data and knowledge. We are empowering those outside of the health care professions to make clinical decisions and to override decisions of physicians and other trained healthcare providers. What are we doing? We need to get this right and we need to do it now. The health of our citizens, ourselves, and our state are at risk if we do not demonstrate leadership and decisiveness. From the AHEC perspective, we are continually challenged by under resourced secondary schools across the state, communities with so many needs that it is hard to determine priorities, clinicians who are over worked and under compensated, families that want to make a change but are chained by medical costs beyond their means. But we continue to work and to thrive and along the way, measurable changes are occurring. Many are reflected in this annual report. 2017 has been an invigorating year. We welcomed Dr. Jane Nester as the new Center Director for the Magnolia Coastlands AHEC, and she is providing fresh insight for strategies to accomplish our mission. Our Boards of Directors are incredible: knowledgeable and committed community members from across the state who freely share their expertise and networks to accomplish our goals. To all of you working tirelessly to address Georgia’s health challenges, we salute you. Together, eventually, we will figure this out and have the healthcare system in our state that our citizens deserve. I anticipate with pleasure every partnership and collaboration that we will forge to make this happen. And from the AHECs, I pledge a 100% commitment to solving Georgia’s healthcare challenges.

Best wishes for a healthy 2018! Denise D. Kornegay, MSW Executive Director and Associate Dean, Georgia Statewide AHEC Network Associate Professor, Department of Family Medicine Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University

Awards/ Grants

Awarded support from the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians and the American College of Physicians Georgia Chapter in sponsorship of the 2017 Pathway to Med School Program. The Foothills AHEC Intensive Program Scholarship was developed to assist with tracking students after high school graduation. For four years, completers of an intensive health careers program are eligible to apply for the scholarship. The application provides Foothills AHEC with each student’s contact information and current status in their pursuit of a health career. Jordan Pruitt, the 2017 recipient of the scholarship, is a freshman at Mercer University with plans to pursue a career as a Physician Assistant. Tammy Guilbeau, one of our RN Reentry program graduates, recently received the Daisy Award at Northeast Georgia Health System. DAISY is an acronym for “Diseases Attacking the Immune System”. The award is sponsored by the Daisy Foundation to recognize nurses everywhere for their extraordinary clinical skills and compassion and the enormous difference they make in the lives of so many people every day.

Accomplishments

983 graduates supported in FY02 – FY17 have chosen to practice in the Foothills AHEC region. An additional 1,159 graduates choose to practice elsewhere in the state. Graduates have taken jobs in 29 of our 31 county service area. Since 2011 nine students completing the Brenau-PCOM PA Program have taken jobs in the region and two students within the state. Four students completing the Mercer PA Community Integration Program have taken jobs in the region and three students within the state. These two groups of students completed all community based clinical training in the Foothills AHEC region. In an effort to distribute services across the entire 31 counties we serve in Northeast Georgia, it is our goal that participants across all program areas will represent 75% of the counties in our region. In FY17 program participants were from 94% of our county service area.

We have a 75% retention rate of RN Re-Entry candidates coming back to work in our region after completion of the program. Multiple clinical site agreements were signed over the past year increasing the options where students in the RN Re-Entry Program can do their required clinical training. To date, there is at least one clinical site for our RN ReEntry program in 18 of our 20 counties. Our RN Re-Entry program was featured in a Georgia Health News Article http://www.georgiahealthnews.com/2017/05/re-entry-program-brings-nurses-profession/ Foothills AHEC Foothills AHEC celebrated our 12th year of offering the RN Re-Entry Program. Since 2005 our RN Reentry program has assisted 111 RNs re-instate their license and join the nursing workforce. Ninety-five of these RNs have taken jobs in northeast Georgia or surrounding counties. SOWEGA In 2003, in order to address the RN shortage, SOWEGA-AHEC developed a RN Re-Entry program to tap into the lapsed license population that wanted to return to work. This year 5 participants enrolled bringing the overall total of 45 RNs that have reestablished their licenses and returned to work in southwest Georgia since 2003. With the success of the program, 3 other Georgia AHECs offer our RN Re-Entry program and over 200 nurses have returned to work throughout the state. SPCC Atlanta AHEC The Atlanta AHEC collaborated with Three Rivers AHEC with the expansion of the RN Re-Entry Program in the Atlanta area.
