ADVOCACY PROGRAMS

Legislative Toolkit
Thanks to the collaborative efforts between Mary’s Center’s Advocacy and Communications Department, various federal legislative staff representatives from offices such as that of at that time Senator Barack Obama, the World Bank and the National Council of La Raza, Mary’s Center has created a legislative toolkit focused on immigrant health care issues. The kit is designed to provide federal, state and local legislators with a variety of immigrant health care facts and figures as well as raise awareness regarding the impact of current health policies on immigrant families. The toolkit also highlights model legislation that addresses access to community-based health services and the unique health care needs of immigrants.
