Join us on Thursday, October 13, 2011, a day for Health Center supporters across the nation to unite with one voice to call upon Congress and the White House to protect our CHCs and the patients they serve!
We need EVERY Health Center Advocate to act! The President and Congressional leaders are RIGHT NOW considering proposals to address federal spending, some of which could literally zero out funding for the Health Centers Program or drastically cut critically important programs like Medicaid. Please participate - and encourage others to participate! - on Thursday, October 13, to make sure Congress and the White House get a message they can't ignore!
Instructions for the Thursday, October 13, National Mobilization Call-In Day:
1) Call Your Members of Congress: Use the toll free Advocacy Hotline at 1-866-456-3949and tell your U.S. Representative AND BOTH Senators: "Do not undermine the successful Health Centers program as you negotiate Medicaid changes and cuts to the federal budget. The health and lives of our families and our neighbors should not be negotiated away. I am counting on your support for my Health Center."
a. You only need to call the Advocacy Hotline ONE TIME – stay on the line at the end of each conversation to be automatically connected to your next policymaker.
2) Call the White House Comment Line at 1-202-456-1111and leave a message for the President saying: "Do not undermine the successful Health Centers program as you negotiate Medicaid changes and cuts to the federal budget. The health and lives of our families and our neighbors should not be negotiated away. I am counting on your support for my Health Center."
a. When you call the White House Comment Line it may take a few moments to be connected to a LIVE OPERATOR, but you WILL be connected and be able to leave a message with a LIVE person. Make sure to call the White House BEFORE the Comment Line CLOSES at 5:00pm EST.
Be Aware: When you call your Congressional offices and the White House the line might be busy because SO MANY Health Center Advocates are calling - DON'T GIVE UP -- keep calling until you get through!

Meet Our Staff...
Cynthia is one of East Valley's HIV Testing Counselors. She has worked at East Valley for 3 1/2 years. What she enjoys most about her job is being able to work with so many different types of people and having the ability to bring services out to the community through the mobile HIV testing unit. On the mobile unit, HIV Testing Counselors provide people with free oral HIV testing with results in 20 minutes. People love this because it's fast, free, and painless. They are also able to provide clients with referrals to the clinic and other vital resources.
She has been able to establish a rapport with clients and has subsequently been able to link them to HIV medical care, drug treatment programs, and housing resources. Being able to contribute positively to a persons life in my own small way, makes my job worthwhile.
