Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council

Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council CCSNPC builds capacity within Chatham County's safety net system, improving access to healthcare for uninsured and underinsured children and adults.

Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council (Safety Net) is a county-wide planning body of key stakeholders, including providers, government representatives, advocates, funders, and consumers. Our goal is to strengthen the health care infrastructure for primary care, build capacity within our community’s safety net system, improve access to health care and link the uninsured and underinsured to a m

edical home. Ultimately we strive to improve health outcomes in Chatham County by working together on common problems. Our Mission

The mission of the Planning Council is to develop an infrastructure to maximize access and utilization of health services and to leverage available resources to assure improved health status for our residents. Our History

In 2004, the Chatham County Safety Net Planning Council (CCSNPC) was created to assist the Chatham County Commission in better meeting the health care needs of uninsured and underinsured residents. Under the organizational leadership of the Chatham County Health Department, the group was asked to gain a better understanding of the health care needs of low income uninsured citizens in Chatham County, explore existing resources to meet their needs and to find opportunities to maximize the use of these resources. Program development has been funded by Chatham County, National League of Cities, United Way, Healthcare Georgia Foundation, the Georgia Department of Community Health, Southeast Georgia Cancer Alliance, the Health Resources and Services Administration and partner donations. This funding has helped support projects including a community Care Navigator program, expanded prescription assistance, a community approach to adopting Electronic Health Records (EHR) and building a county/regional Health Information Exchange (HIE). Today CCSNPC has grown to be a free-standing non-profit organization and a trusted leader in finding effective and efficient ways to address health care challenges in Chatham County.
