Mobile clinics increase access to essential care by bridging the gap between medical services and those with limited access to healthcare. Mobilizing supporters to use their voices to persuade Congress to pass funding in an atmosphere of spending fatigue and competing priorities is as critical as the care you provide. This session will explore how creating a culture of advocacy in your organization that builds relational power can deepen the commitment of staff, board members and patients to your mission. Using storytelling and strategy to identify and equip leaders, you can ensure advocates have the necessary tools and confidence to stand up for mobile clinics and increased access to care.
