 The Achievement Report for the Community Health Action Team (CHAT) describes activities conducted through the collaboration of county agencies.  The CHAT organization was formed in 1995 through a partnership between Graham Hospital and the Fulton County Health Department.  Partners contribute resources towards the salary of the CHAT Coordinator and costs associated with the planning and implementation of activities.  In 2001, the Fulton-Mason Crisis Service joined CHAT as a partner to address health and social needs. In 2004, CHAT received a federal grant from HRSA to develop and website and webportal for information and service referrals.
