The Savannah Pride Center—a Georgia-based nonprofit—has found itself expanding beyond its advocacy work to help meet the healthcare needs of the LGBTQ+ community in Savannah. “Closer Look” host Rose talked with Michael Bell, the executive director of the Savannah Pride Center, Nikolas Indigo, a Savannah Pride Center's outreach team lead, and GeorgAnna Wiley, a nurse practitioner, midwife, and the founder of Rebirth Women’s Holistic Health Clinic, who volunteers at the Savannah Pride Center. They discussed their recent expansion, the need for more partnerships with local hospitals and the importance of providing gender-affirming care to individuals belonging to the LGBTQ+ community.
Plus, we hear from Clyde Higgs, who serves as the president and CEO of the Atlanta Beltline Inc. He talks with Rose about a new estimated $3.5 billion plan that would expand public transit on the Beltline. The overseer of the 22-mile project, which includes green space, parks and trails, is on track to be completed by 2030. However, Higgs explains that the expansion will require extending Tax Allocation Districts (TADs).
