Through our work with the Statesboro Healthy Boro initiative, we became aware of both the abundance of resources in Bulloch County and the difficulty individuals and families face in identifying the right resource for their needs. This was the inspiration for the Boro Health Project.Our goal is to help connect people to local organizations that offer low-cost and no-cost services or provide services on a sliding scale according to income. Our team contacted organizations to ask the questions that individuals might need answered to make choices about their health. The Boro Health Project serves as a digital directory to help you find the resources that you need.
