Georgia Partnership for Caring Foundation was formed in 1994 by former Lieutenant Governor Pierre Howard and various public and private health care associations and human services agencies as a response to the problem of providing health care services for low-income uninsured persons living in Georgia.  

The GPCF program includes the limited services of primary and specialty care physicians, dentists, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, hospitals, pharmacists, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and various community health centers.  These volunteers are not paid for their services or products but are committed to assisting needy Georgians with obtaining access to health care services.
