Register Here

August is Civic Health Month—a time to showcase the link between voting and health and celebrate efforts that ensure each and every voter has the opportunity to support their community’s health at the ballot box.

Every August, over 300 organizations nationwide, including the American Medical Association, Massachusetts General Hospital, and the National Medical Association, join together to celebrate, learn, and take action to improve the civic health of their communities.

In this discussion you will learn how hospitals and clinics across the country transform into centers of democratic engagement by using Vot-ER tools.

She has over a decade of community organizing experience and is committed to making a difference in her community by volunteering as the current Moms Demand Action, Tucson Chapter Lead.

Sandra’s passion comes from working to prevent others from experiencing gun violence. When she is not working or tabling a local Moms Demand Action event Sandra spends time with her husband and 8 year old son.

VOT-ER is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization, working to integrate civic engagement into healthcare.  At the core of their work is the premise that healthcare professionals are trusted messengers who can make the connection between health and voting.
