The cracks in Atlanta’s medical safety net are expanding.
 
This week (12/3-12/9), WABE investigates the mounting pressure on the state’s healthcare system and the people who rely on it. We look at the growing hurdles facing patients, the financial uncertainties hitting families, and how local medical providers are fighting to fill critical gaps.

It’s a series about paperwork, premiums, and the places where community care is needed most. Hear the human stories behind the policy debates.

Don’t miss a single segment. 🎧 Stream the broadcasts and episodes at wabe.org, the WABE App, and wherever you listen to podcasts.
