Policy and Advocacy
Overview
"The practice of democracy is a vehicle towards a healthy and thriving society."
We believe in the power of policy to cement lasting change within the communities we actively support. Our dedication goes beyond immediate aid; we collaborate with organizations and initiatives to ensure the passage of equitable health policies that support our neighborhoods.
We seek to support advocacy efforts for policies that are just and proactive and target the inequitable practices of institutions and systems. It’s our priority to reflect the voices and needs of the neighborhoods we support through supporting organizations that champion policies addressing social determinants of health, thus advancing health equity.
Lastly, we not only endorse policies that expand access to comprehensive, affordable health care but also actively engage in policy initiatives at various governmental levels.
Our goal is for us and our partners to be a catalyst for policy change, contributing significantly to the erasure of health disparities.
