Marietta Health Insurance (GA)

Marietta, Georgia is one of the largest suburbs of Atlanta, but still has a small town feel. This racially diverse community is affluent and young. Home of Southern Polytechnic State University, Dobbins Air Reserve Base, and a Lockheed-Martin manufacturing plant, it also continues to grow at a comfortable, affordable pace. Marietta does have pockets of poverty, both among the young and the elderly; but the city's population has health insurance at the national average.

Marietta Health and Health Care

This affordable, safe, Southern city is among the recipients of the recent health initiatives of the State of Georgia. Statewide, there is an emphasis on prevention of chronic illness through the encouragement of a healthy life style from birth. Breastfeeding, healthy food choices, and increased physical activity are all goals of the state's education programs. Further efforts to create an environment that makes physical activity possible have resulted in pedestrian paths, recreation centers, and required physical education in the schools is having a positive effect on the population. Other health practices have resulted in improved outcomes for Medicare and nursing home patients.
