Dr. Jacqueline Grant manages and provides direction to 14 county health departments and district programs, including environmental health, communicable diseases, emergency preparedness, oral health, and women's and child health. In addition to serving as the chief executive officer of the health district's county boards of health, she works cooperatively with the State Public Health Director, community partners, and local officials regarding public health issues. Dr. Grant was instrumental in acquiring a March of Dimes grant to launch the first Public Health-administered CenteringPregnancy® program in Georgia as well as the first such program in the southern half of the state. While the first site continued to address the needs of primarily African-American women, the program soon expanded into a second site primarily aimed at Hispanic women. She frequently speaks on Centering throughout Georgia and in 2012 received the Tee Rae Dismukes Award. Dr. Grant was selected to serve on the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute's (PCORI) Inaugural Advisory Panel on Addressing Disparities in 2013.

Previously, Dr. Grant served as the medical director of the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the University of Missouri in Columbia. While there, she received national recognition in "Best Doctors of America, 2003-2004." In 1992, Dr. Grant completed a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Emory University Affiliated Hospitals in Atlanta, GA, where she served as chief administrative resident. She later enjoyed a thriving private practice and faculty positions at Emory University, Morehouse School of Medicine, and the University of Missouri-Columbia.

Dr. Grant received a Bachelor's of Science in Chemistry from East Carolina University in Greenville, NC and an M.P.H. degree from the University of Alabama in Birmingham, before earning a doctor of medicine degree from the Morehouse School of Medicine in 1988. As a CFHU Fellow, she earned an M.P.A. degree from Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government in 2005.
