Here are some of our most requested resources. If you have unique needs that are not listed here, please send a message via chat or call the helplines listed in the footer below for more customized information.
Caring for Your Employees
Health Action Alliance
The Health Action Alliance has proven to be one of the best and most trusted resources for businesses to link to when it comes to caring for employees through COVID-19. We strongly encourage all businesses to tap into their wealth of online resources, visit their on-demand library, and subscribe to their newsletters to stay in-the-know about best practices for the workplace.
The federal government’s COVID-19 public health emergency (PHE) and national emergency ended on May 11, 2023. This may complicate the way your employees access COVID-19 tests, boosters and treatments. Click the button below to learn more:

Gwinnett Health Finder
Not every employer can offer full health insurance benefits so we’ve created a great resource to connect Gwinnett’s un/underinsured residents to quality affordable healthcare options. Connect your employees to trusted adult and pediatric clinics, mental health services, dental care, and specialists via Gwinnett Health Finder.
Financial Support
Data shows that 78%+ of employees live paycheck to paycheck, so if there has been any disruption in your business and employee compensation was adjusted, it is very likely many of your employees are struggling to provide for their family. Please share GwinnettCares.org/needhelp with them and encourage them to seek the support they need to get back on solid footing.
