Health Students Taking Action Together

Health Students Taking Action Together (H-STAT) is a student-run, non-profit organization that unites health profession students throughout the state of Georgia and across disciplines to deliver community impact in service, education, advocacy, and research to improve the health of all people in Georgia.

We intend to create a healthier Georgia through the development of professional leaders who effect change through interdisciplinary collaboration and embody a civic ethic that will benefit our state for years to come.

H-STAT seeks to make being active in the health community a professional habit. By helping students and health professionals see advocacy as a continuum that links education and service to policy, we can facilitate the development of a new cohort of health leaders.

Since 2001, H-STAT has been making its mark on Georgia, from its successful campaign to stop Grady Memorial Hospital from closing to achieving national recognition for acquiring sustainable funding for Georgia’s trauma system.

At H-STAT, we know that health students have significant course loads and little time to spare. We also know that classrooms and labs aren’t the only places to learn. By joining H-STAT, you’ll get hands-on experience in your community that will help you appreciate and contextualize what you’re learning in school.

“I have seen national professional associations with multi-million-dollar budgets that are not nearly as well organized, focused, and disciplined as HealthSTAT. I’m still trying to figure out where they learned this.”

  • Arthur L. Kellermann, former associate dean for health policy at Emory SOM and founder of the department of emergency medicine at Emory University and the Center for Injury Control at Rollins School of Public Health
