NEW! ADVOCATES FOR COMMUNITY HEALTH CALL 2 ACTION

TAKE ACTION NOW

Instructions for staff and patients: English | Spanish

Congress is currently considering major changes to the Medicaid program which would have a serious impact on our health centers and our patients. We need to let our Members of Congress know in no uncertain terms that the current bill and proposed changes to Medicaid MUST NOT MOVE FORWARD. Advocates for Community Health (ACH) has a toll-free 800 number to call our Senators and Representative to let them know how devastating these changes to Medicaid would be for our health centers and patients and to STOP the bill from moving forward. We urge you to use ACH's Toll-Free 1-877-224-2015 Advocacy Hotline to contact both Senators and your Representative. All three calls will take less than five minutes to complete, but the impact of your voice and your call cannot be overstated. Visit ACH's National Call In Day page for call directions, a call-in script, and tips to remember.
