What We Do

Help for Healthcare Professionals (HHCP) is a nurse-owned nonprofit organization based in Georgia. We were established to provide support and services to the healthcare workers in our community who have devoted their lives to keeping us safe and healthy.

2020 shifted the perspective of the community at large as everyone seemed to now understand the nature of the healthcare ecosystem. Nurses, doctors, paramedics, respiratory therapists, social workers, community health workers, and pharmacists are only a few of the brave and heroic people making a difference in our lives and our community. While you stayed safe within your homes and away from the pandemic, healthcare workers went out daily to face the dangers of the COVID-19 virus head-on.

Each year, we aim to provide targeted programs and services in fulfillment of our three core pillars: awareness, education, and crisis relief. As we expand our Crossroads Education and Skills Training program, we ensure the sustainability of the healthcare workforce by removing barriers that impede both aspiring and existing members of the healthcare ecosystem’s ability to obtain comprehensive training. Long-term, this creates healthier communities with better access to healthcare.

Nonprofit Organization

Help for Healthcare Professionals (HHCP) is a nonprofit organization based in Georgia. We were founded to provide support and services to the members of our community who have devoted their lives to keeping us safe and healthy. Nurses, doctors, paramedics, respiratory therapists, social workers, community health workers, and pharmacists are only a few brave and heroic people making a difference in our lives and our community. While we stayed safe within our homes and away from the pandemic, these healthcare workers went out daily to face the dangers of the infection head-on.

On May 23, 2022, a Surgeon General’s Advisory was issued on health worker burnout and well-being, declaring this crisis a national priority and calling the nation to action with specific directives for health systems, insurers, government, training institutions, and other stakeholders. The advisory is also intended to broaden awareness of the threat that health worker burnout poses to the nation’s health.

Public Awareness and Support Will Be Essential to Ensuring Sustained Action.

HHCP aims to reach healthcare professional communities across Metro Atlanta to mitigate healthcare worker burnout, strengthen public investments in the workforce and public health, increase access to mental health care for health workers, and address healthcare professionals' overall well-being by valuing and protecting this special community.

Each year, we provide targeted programs and services in fulfillment of our three core pillars: advocacy, education, and crisis relief. As we expand our Crossroads Education and Skills Training program, we ensure the sustainability of the healthcare workforce by removing barriers that impede both aspiring and existing members of the healthcare ecosystem’s ability to obtain comprehensive training. Long-term, this creates healthier communities with better access to healthcare.

Founder’s Story

In January 2020, none of us knew about COVID-19 or how it was going to affect us, let alone how close it would hit home. This unprecedented time, however, proved to be one that ignited love, empathy, passion, vision, and the birth of new beginnings for many.

The Stirring Spirit

As I watched the news daily, I felt something stir within me as I wanted to go back to help fight COVID-19 in my hometown, New York City. I felt guilty. Like a survivor’s remorse. I could not travel to NYC at the time but still wanted to do something for the Georgia healthcare workforce. Knowing how much I love direct patient care, and how involved I was when I worked in the clinical setting…
