There are less than 10 more days (and fewer legislative days) before we lose 70% of federal funding to Community Health Centers. NC’s most vulnerable people could lose access to health care. We need to turn up the volume on emails, calls, and personal visits to congress.
It takes 7 minutes to make a difference in the lives of Community Health Center patients by calling and emailing your elected officials.
3 minutes: Call Senator Burr’s office 1-866-456-3949.
Say: Community Health Centers are about to lose 70% of their federal funding. This will lead to more than 200,000 North Carolinians losing access to healthcare services and more than 1500 people losing their jobs. [If you think you may be one of them, say that, too!] I am asking Senator Burr to fix the health center funding cliff before September 30th. Don’t delay it!
2 minutes (It’s quicker once you have the hang of it!): Call Senator Tillis’ office 1-866-456-3949.
Say: THANK YOU to Senator Tillis for being a leader in support of Community Health Centers and for signing the Community Health Center support letter. Now, I am asking him to make sure a long-term solution to the Community Health Center funding cliff is reached before September 30th.
2 minutes: Call your Representative’s office (1-866-456-3949 will link you based on your zip code).
Say: Community Health Centers are about to lose 70% of their federal funding. This will lead to: More than 200,000 North Carolinians losing access to healthcare services and more than 1500 people losing their jobs. [If you think you may be one of them, say that, too!] I am asking Representative [INSERT] to cosponsor HR 3770, the bill that would extend Community Health Center funding, and make sure to fix the health center funding cliff before September 30th. Don’t delay it!
