The health care system should work for all of us. Let’s change it together.

I want to...

  • Campaign to bring navigation services to people who need it
  • Get case management assistance
  • Learn about the patient experience
  • Sign up to volunteer
  • Learn how to advocate effectively

We’re working for equitable care and better experiences.

Needs Navigation

People's financial and social needs are often overlooked in healthcare. Needs navigation can be the solution patients and families need to get through the healthcare system.

Getting Covered and Using Insurance

Finding the right plan is the best thing for your health and your wallet. We have the right resources and tips to help you make the best choice.

Health Equity

When it comes to our health, we all must have the opportunity to access and afford quality health care.

Surprise Medical Bills

New protections from surprise billing start January 1, 2022. Learn more about what we're doing, your new rights, and where you could still be vulnerable for unexpected charges.

Our voices are powerful. Together, we will create a better, more equitable system.
