![]() Dana-Farber recently launched our Civic Health Champions Initiative. This new initiative was created in support of our community-based mission and in acknowledgement of the critical importance of the relationship between health care, healthy communities, and civic participation. Better health for all begins when every citizen has a voice in public policy decisions that affect their wellbeing. That is why the Dana-Farber Civic Health Champions Initiative is proud to partner with VotER, a national nonpartisan, nonprofit, created by Dr. Allister Martin, an emergency room attending physician at Massachusetts General Hospital. In partnering with VotER, Dana-Farber joins the growing list of national partners which includes local names like Massachusetts General Hospital, and Commonwealth Care Alliance, and national groups such as the American Public Health Association, American Telemedicine Association, and the American Nurses Association. The Civic Health Champions Initiative aims to train Dana-Farber staff and volunteers who wish to learn how to integrate nonpartisan voter registration and education into existing research and administrative workflows and our health care delivery system. In addition, the initiative aims to provide our patients, caregivers, visitors and staff with important information and updates, such as the civic health checkup below.
