Georgia Baptist Mission Board

The Georgia Baptist Mission Board (GBMB) is a non-profit religious organization that serves as the executive body of the Georgia Baptist Convention. While its primary mission is religious, the GBMB maintains a significant presence in the healthcare sector through its subsidiary, the Georgia Baptist Health Care Ministry Foundation (GBHCMF). The foundation provides millions of dollars in grants annually to non-profit healthcare providers and community health initiatives across Georgia. Additionally, the GBMB operates the Baptist Mobile Health Ministry, which utilizes mobile units to provide dental care and medical screenings to underserved populations. This healthcare involvement is a continuation of the organization's historical legacy, which previously included the operation of the Georgia Baptist Health Care System. The GBMB's healthcare activities focus on improving access to care and supporting community wellness rather than traditional pharmaceutical or biotechnological research.
