Because millions of people receive or provide care through health centers, the community of potential advocates is huge – and growing larger all the time.

But life’s other demands can easily get in the way of taking an active role on behalf of health centers. That would be a mistake.

Get involved. Here's how:

Volunteer at a health center, to learn the issues first hand and make a direct difference.
Work with a health center to engage public policymakers in supporting legislation that benefits health centers and their patients.
Link health centers with primary care associations and educational institutions, to ensure adequate training for health center staff and future health care workers.
Dedicate the resources of your group or philanthropic effort to the support of health centers.
Reduce the demand for health care services by promoting health education, better diets, exercise and public recreation programs.
