Colorado
Building off great nurse advocacy energy in Colorado, the Colorado chapter of Health United is off to a great start. Having recruited and identified some great activists in key locations all over Colorado, we will bring healthcare workers together in Denver, CO for our second general meeting on June 12, 2008. View more details, including a listing of upcoming events.
Oregon
We're working with groups like Oregonians for Healthcare, and finding
that folks throughout Oregon are excited about Healthcare United.
Eager to let their voice be heard, healthcare workers around the state
are convening at the governor’s appointed Health Care Forums this
spring. 13 forums are being held around the state. View more details, including a listing of upcoming events.
Wisconsin
Healthcare United Wisconsin has gotten off to a great start in the Milwaukee area. Working side-by-side with groups like Wisconsin Citizen Action and 9-to-5, we're quickly gathering statewide support for a petition to enact paid sick leave in the state.
New Mexico
After the primary, Healthcare United New Mexico will be launching with a vigorous voter registration campaign - aimed at registering caregivers across the state. We have a full-time organizer based in Albuquerque.
Florida
As one of the states with the largest healthcare population, Healthcare
United has three field organizers on the ground, building an extensive
volunteer operation. Eager to get involved, volunteers are beginning
to recruit more healthcare workers to the cause and inviting them to
participate in an upcoming nurse educator meeting in May 2008.
Interested healthcare workers should contact Patrick Furey at patrick@healthcareunited.org.
Michigan
Working closely with organizations that include ACORN and Healthcare
for Michigan, Healthcare United's campaign in Michigan is gathering
support for a ballot initiative that would require the Michigan State
legislature to address serious issues with the state's healthcare
system. For more information on the campaign in Michigan, contact
Lynette Pitcock at lynette@healthcareunited.org.
New Hampshire
Working in the largest healthcare facilities, Healthcare United has already engaged hundreds of New Hampshire healthcare workers. Many of the doctors, nurses and techs have signed onto the Stop Medicaid Cuts petition that is being circulated throughout the state. For more information on the petition, click here.
