Mission & Vision

Mission: Our mission is to improve health outcomes by advancing psychedelic therapies through education and training, research advancement, community building, and policy reform. We are committed to integrating these treatments into healthcare systems in a way that is safe, accessible, and patient-centered.
 
Vision: A future where North and South Carolina lead the Southeast in evidence-based health innovation — where community members, veterans, first responders, and others have access to treatments backed by rigorous science, not held back by outdated policy.

Our Story

Care, Reimagined. Built for the Carolinas.

Carolinas for Care began with a deeply personal understanding of what it means to search for healing. Founder Gina Giorgio has lived with rheumatoid arthritis since the age of nine, and was raised in a military family that has known the weight of trauma, experiences that taught her how limited conventional treatments can be, and drove her to seek out new frontiers in medicine. Discovering the powerful potential of psychedelic medicine, a mission was ignited to extend breakthroughs in care to others in the Carolinas.

Learn About Our Team

Reimagining Care. Advancing Access.

 

Carolinas for Care is leading the movement to expand safe, evidence-based access to psychedelic-assisted and emerging health treatments across North and South Carolina. Through education, policy reform, and community-building, we work to break down the barriers that keep proven and promising treatments out of reach.

 

We partner with leading research institutions, clinicians, and providers across the Carolinas to advance the study of these therapies for conditions like PTSD, depression, pain, and anxiety, while engaging lawmakers to champion policy that prioritizes access, safety, and mental health.

With integrity, determination, and compassion, we are creating a future where the Carolina’s community can find real pathways to healing and the care they deserve.
