About the Role

We are gathering signatures to qualify two municipal ballot measures to create Citizens’ Advisory Healthcare Action Committees to improve access to and affordability of healthcare in our local area. Healthcare costs are rising, wait times are getting longer, and barriers to care are increasing across our communities. These measures would establish a formal process for residents, patients, healthcare workers, and community stakeholders to identify challenges, amplify our voices, and advocate for solutions to strengthen local healthcare systems. Our team will be out in the community speaking to voters to help give communities a stronger voice in shaping the future of healthcare.
