Engaging Voters & Encouraging Civic Participation

The Committee to Protect Health Care Education Fund is a catalyst for empowering citizens to take action and vote to create a better U.S. health care system.

OUR CURRENT STRATEGIES

Voter Education

We’re providing accurate, accessible information to empower voters on health care issues.

Physicians share credible information and unique patient perspectives about timely issues from paid family and medical leave to Medicaid expansion to reproductive freedom.

Health Care on the Ballot

We’re spotlighting key health care issues in elections to ensure voters understand what’s at stake.

We focus on how election issues can impact health care access and affordability as well as public health, clearly illustrating how these issues impact people’s lives.

Voter Mobilization

We’re engaging doctors, patients, and advocates through social media campaigns and earned media to turn out to the polls to protect their health.

As voters increasingly get their information from less traditional media sources, we use a diverse and strategic approach to drive civic engagement amongst voters in underserved communities.

STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

Diverse Paid and Earned Communications to Reach More Voters

We are increasingly diversifying our tactics for reaching voters to keep up with changing behaviors and new forms of media. We can’t just rely on TV and newspaper stories anymore — we’re using cutting-edge digital ad placement, TikTok and other new forms of social media, and podcasts to reach people in addition to more traditional methods of local TV stories, creative mail pieces, etc.
