Surprisingly, the [cease and desist] letter to Glass also asserted she defamed Georgia Wellness by saying it is affiliated with Obria, the national chain. According to the letter, “Georgia Wellness is an independent, locally operated clinic no longer affiliated with Obria on an organizational, legal, or operational level.” However, any observer could be forgiven for not knowing that. As of publication time, the website obriagwinnett.org was still live, featuring Georgia Wellness’ current phone number. The organization’s 2025 CDBG applications—submitted in July 2024—still use the name Obria throughout. In fact, in an organizational chart submitted with that application, “Obria” appears as an entire division of Georgia Wellness, encompassing all OBGYN services.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4fdfjfnhhyeo4hsmoxpeazsg/bafkreihxa5r75snebcst5uhp7xxnlqo2uf24pmdk62d2cr3yzuoigkvl44@jpeg)
