ARCHI Presents: The State of Metro Atlanta Health

The State of Metro Atlanta Health 2025 (SMAH) is the region’s premier gathering for leaders shaping the future of health.

This high-impact, half-day convening brings together more than 250 decision-makers, funders, providers, practitioners, and advocates to:

• Learn from the latest health data and lived experience influencing our region
  
• Gain insights from institutional leaders, philanthropic experts, and community changemakers
  
• Explore strategies that address root causes of inequity, including housing, workforce development, care coordination, and advocacy
  
• Collaborate across sectors to turn ideas into measurable impact
  

At the core of the symposium are three driving questions:

1. What forces are driving persistent health inequities across metro Atlanta—and who is most affected?
   
2. How can health care, public health, and community sectors better align to address the root causes of poor health?
   
3. What bold strategies and cross-sector investments are needed now to advance health equity?
   

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Renée Branch Canady
CEO, Michigan Public Health Institute | Author, Room at the Table Nationally recognized thought leader and author, Dr. Canady calls leaders to embrace justice and difference as assets to achieve meaningful systems change.

Why Attend?
Because collaboration is the key to transformation. By joining this movement, you’ll help “invert the burden” and accelerate community-centered solutions that improve the health of metro Atlanta. Inverting the burden places accountability on systems and institutions to advance equity, relieving communities from carrying that weight alone. Your presence adds power to this collective effort—be part of the change shaping Atlanta’s future.
