Creating a Culture of Advocacy
Fostering Long-Term Advocacy Within Your Health Center
Embedding advocacy into the daily life of your health center is key to building a strong, lasting program. The resources available support efforts to engage staff and patients, raise awareness about the mission and impact of Community Health Centers, and coordinate internal advocacy activities. Materials include Advocacy 101 videos, customizable outreach templates, break room signage, and data points to help you shape messaging that resonates with your community.
Engaging With Elected Officials
Build and Maintain Effective Relationships with Policymakers
Strengthening your voice with policymakers starts with building intentional, ongoing relationships with your elected officials and their staff. Effective advocacy requires not only telling your story, but also understanding how to communicate your health center’s impact in ways that resonate. Resources include step-by-step guides for scheduling and hosting meetings, templates for storytelling and follow-up communication, and sample letters, op-eds, and a sample site visit itinerary. These tools are designed to help you engage with confidence, stay compliant, and ensure that policymakers understand the needs of your patients and community.
