Georgia Cherokee Community Alliance
Partner Program
The Georgia Cherokee Community Alliance (GCCA) is a community of federally recognized Cherokees dedicated to Cherokee culture, tradition, heritage, and fellowship. GCCA is a non-political, non-profit, Native American organization incorporated as a 501-C-3 whose members reside outside the boundaries of the Cherokee Nation and Bands. GCCA gathers to meet the needs of their community and to help in assisting their elders, veterans, and youth or other needs as deemed necessary by the GCCA. The GCCA is a satellite community of the Cherokee Nation and acts as the official point of connection between the Cherokee Nation and its Georgia Cherokee citizens.
Georgia Gear's partnership with the GCCA will focus on providing the supportive care workforce for GA Tribal populations with resources to improve the care of tribal older adults. Specifically, we will offer community health fairs and health education activities to members of the GCCA, focusing on those living in under-resourced and rural areas, to enhance their connection to age-friendly and dementia-friendly health services. We will also support GCCA's website enhancement to facilitate greater connection between Tribal populations and healthcare services.
