Georgia ACE
  • Georgia ACE

    For your Health Center to qualify as a Georgia Advocacy Center of Excellence, you must meet the requirements and submit the completed form to GPCA for review. There are three ACE status levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The achieved level will be valid for two calendar years, with the qualifying activities beginning January 1, 2025, and renewal is biennial. If you feel before the renewal date, you have completed activities for a higher level; you can resubmit. If you meet the new level's requirements, you will be awarded the monetary difference between the first level achieved and the new level. After you have submitted your application and it has been reviewed, you will receive an email with your ACE Status level achieved. Don't hesitate to contact Debbie L. Channell at dchannell@gaphc.org with any questions.
