In Ohio, there are 57,157 healthcare professionals and workers who are not yet registered to vote. That means that even if you are registered, 1 out of 5 of your colleagues in Ohio is not.  If we are going to change our national healthcare system, we need everyone's voices and every nurse, doctor and healthcare worker registered to vote.

The Healthcare United campaign in Ohio will be knocking on doors, making phone calls, and talking to colleagues at work about the importance of registering to vote this summer. We want to make sure that every Ohio healthcare worker has a voice in the debate over healthcare reform and in the election of 2008. Healthcare workers like you are doing things, small and large, to educate and engage their colleagues--hosting meet-ups, calling healthcare workers in their area, and sharing their stories on our site.

Caregivers across the state are registering their friends, family and coworkers to vote. Here's what you can do:

1. Register to vote TODAY!
2. Inviting five friends to join Healthcare United
3. Forward the voter registration information to your healthcare colleagues
4. Host a Healthcare United meet-up in your neighbohood with your colleagues and other healthcare workers. Email Ellie Van Houtte at ellie@healthcareunited.org or call her at (614) 216-8374 for more information on how to get started.
