Healthcare United is
building a great grassroots network of healthcare professionals and
workers across the entire state of Michigan to make sure their voices
are part of the national dialogue on changing our broken healthcare
system - to make sure it is accessible, affordable and equitable for
everyone.
Our first step in this process is to make sure that
all healthcare workers are registered to vote. We will do this by
holding registration drives and setting up local chapters so you can
get active in your own community.

As the days are getting shorter and colder and campaign season is almost to an end, I am sure you are asking yourself - "What is Healthcare United in Michigan doing these days?"The answer? A lot!
We are out talking to healthcare workers all over the state about healthcare and this election. Now is the time to make this happen - we have a unique opportunity this election to get folks into office who will truly fight for healthcare reform and it is incredibly important that healthcare workers make their voices heard.
How are we doing this? Primarily and the most effective way is to call them and calling we are. The easiest way is to login to our online phone bank and make calls from the comfort of your home - just click on this link:

We also have phone banks running from our office every Thursday night at 6:30pm - come and join us!
• Thursday, October 9th
• Thursday, October 16th
• Thursday, October 23rd
• Thursday, October 30th
Lastly, we want to invite every healthcare worker we can find to attend a Healthcare Forum on Tuesday, October 21st. Residents of CD9 will gather together to discuss the need for fixing our healthcare system and ask that Congressman Knollenberg join Gary Peters in signing the HCAN pledge - we hope you can join us.

It has been an exciting last month here in Michigan for Healthcare United. We have held meetings all over the state - Lansing, Grand Rapids, Detroit and Southfield - to gather healthcare professionals to talk about our broken healthcare system, how to make it better and what healthcare professionals can do to make that change.However this is still much work to be done and many healthcare professionals to reach out to. There are few things you can do to help.:
1. Host a meeting or attend a meeting: Look for events here in Mighican on the right side of this page. If you would be interested in hosting a meeting in your house or neighborhood, please get in touch with me. It is really easy and quite inspiring to meet and talk with other HC professionals, hear their stories and find out how you all can work together to make a difference.
2. Make phone calls to other healthcare professionals: Click here to make calls and help register fellow nurses, doctors and caregivers to vote here in the state of Michigan.
