One way to ensure success in grassroots advocacy is to start by getting organized and establishing an infrastructure so that the right support systems are in place to carry advocacy initiatives through to victory. Several health centers have taken steps to formalize their advocacy efforts, making advocacy an organizational priority with clear designations and order, to guarantee the highest level of success.
