Leading the Way in Whole-Person Connectivity:

GaHIN and Georgia State University


For more than five decades, the Byrdine F. Lewis College of Nursing and Health Professions at Georgia State University has educated the clinicians, innovators, and informaticians driving Georgia’s health future. With over 11,000 graduates advancing care across the state, the College continues to set the standard for clinical excellence and technological innovation.


For GaHIN, this partnership represents the foundation of whole-person connectivity in action. The College’s program in clinical health informatics directly supports GaHIN’s statewide mission to make health data accessible, secure, and actionable, empowering tomorrow’s care providers to understand the vital connection between information sharing and improved patient outcomes.


This collaboration also carries personal meaning for Dr. Denise Hines, GaHIN’s Executive Director, whose Georgia State University scholarship supports future healthcare leaders pursuing careers in informatics and technology. In addition, she is a proud member of the Byrdine F. Lewis College of Nursing and Health Professions advisory board.


Together, GaHIN and Georgia State are cultivating the talent and technology that make whole-person care possible—linking education, innovation, and data to build a healthier, more connected Georgia.
