HealthPort Supports Habitat Home

HealthPort, a health information services and management technology company located in Alpharetta, has provided $15,000 in financial support (House Leader sponsorship) to Habitat for Humanity—North Central Georgia for the construction of a new home located on Water Ridge Court in Woodstock. 

In addition to the donation, more than 40 HealthPort associates will donate their time and expertise to help build the home which is due to be completed on Dec. 17.  

“HealthPort is honored to give back to the community and provide Habitat with the necessary financial and physical support to make home ownership possible and affordable for families in the surrounding communities of our company headquarters,” said Mike Labedz, CEO, HealthPort. “As a House Leader, this is a valuable opportunity for the Company and our associates to work with Habitat for Humanity towards this common goal of providing the gift of a new home.”

HealthPort associates enjoyed their first home build day on Friday, Nov. 4 helping to paint the interior of the home.  They worked side by side with the new homeowner.

The future occupants of the home, a single mom and her three children, ages 11, 8 and 7 years have faced many challenges. The youngest child encountered serious health issues as a toddler, which forced the mom to stay at home to provide care.  As a single parent, she ultimately lost her job and, with significant medical bills, she lost her apartment, too. Raising her children on her own, the mom has come out of each challenge stronger than ever and is extremely grateful at the prospect of becoming a homeowner. Her children are now all healthy, vibrant and excited to soon have a home to live in.
