For more than 30 years, Dr. Grant has devoted her life to improving access to quality healthcare for low-income women. During her ten-year tenure as the Georgia Southwest Health District Director, she was instrumental in implementing Georgia’s first Public Health-administered CenteringPregnancy® program, which provided group prenatal care and Maternal-Fetal Medicine telemedicine services to low-income urban African-American and rural Hispanic women from 16 counties. As a result, Dr. Grant was the recipient of the Georgia Department of Public Health’s Excellence in Prenatal and Reproductive Health Award in 2015 and the Georgia Perinatal Association’s 2012 Tae Rae Dismuke Award.
Dr. Grant is happily married to her high school sweetheart, Steve, and has two adult sons, and two grandchildren.
