Advocacy

Our advocacy team uses grassroots organizing, legislative advocacy, and coalition building to advance policies that lead to stronger, more just and responsive community health systems and equitable access to social services. As we learn and take action alongside our partners, we lift up these experiences to unlock resources and advance policy change at the local, state, and federal levels. We meet with government leaders to share lessons, stories, and results from PIH-US's work around the country, focusing primarily on expanding fair and equitable access to care, shoring up funding for public health departments and community health workers, and advocating for stronger social systems.
