Guess Who’s Knocking

by L. Toni Lewis, MD | Tuesday, October 28, 2008

Last week, ER stars Laura Innes ("Dr. Kerry Weaver") and Gloria Reuben (physician assistant "Jeanie Boulet") went door-to-door with fellow caregivers in an effort to drive other doctors, nurses and caregivers to the polls on Election Day. Now, they're counting on us to join them in that most critical of missions.
In the video, Gloria says:
"I think it's a good thing to get involved and to be out there and to take whatever action that one feels comfortable in taking or what one may want to take...some people may choose to do phonebanks from home, that's great. Anything anyone wants to do, we'll take it!"

Since we launched Healthcare United in April, we've played a vital role in making healthcare a central issue this election season.

Now it's time to take the next step. As caregivers, we need to make sure that each and every one of us heads to the polls next Tuesday. (For those of you in "early voting" states, this might mean reminding our friends and colleauges to vote early, as well!)

The good news is that it's never been easier to make sure this happens. We've made it easy for you to call your colleagues and remind them that Election Day is just around the corner. It's a simple message that allows you to ask them if they'll be joining us in voting.

And get this: for making 10 calls, you'll receive a Healthcare United bumper sticker. Make 25 calls, and you'll receive a Healthcare United "Patients First" t-shirt.

Join Gloria, Laura, and thousands of other caregivers in making this possible. It's time to get doctors, nurses and caregivers out to vote! Let's make the call!
