ADVOCACY ENGAGEMENT:

---

Educating legislators and staff on health policy advocacy and patient care advocacy through various communication modalities and relationship building, while emphasizing the importance of surgeon involvement.

Engaging individuals in health policy advocacy efforts through direct contact has generated a broad base of support over an extended period, highlighting the importance of patient care advocacy and surgeon involvement.

An organization takes a position on health policy advocacy and collaborates with its resources and members, including surgeon involvement, to effect change in patient care advocacy.

May be done on an individual basis or via contributions to a Political Action Committee (PAC) to support or oppose political candidates, particularly in the realm of health policy advocacy and patient care advocacy, where surgeon involvement can make a significant impact.

A paid lobbyist working for an organization or company may coordinate efforts with topic experts and advocates to enhance health policy advocacy and improve patient care advocacy, often involving surgeon involvement.

An organized rallying of public support around an issue that may be utilized to encourage or discourage business with a targeted entity can play a significant role in health policy advocacy, particularly when it comes to enhancing patient care advocacy and promoting surgeon involvement.

Meeting with legislators or their staff in their home district office or at the state or federal capital is crucial for health policy advocacy. These meetings can also include Zoom visits to discuss various topics, including patient care advocacy, which emphasizes the importance of surgeon involvement in shaping effective health policies. Additionally, participating in a legislative fundraiser can further support these advocacy efforts.

Develop a relationship with a legislator and/or their office staff to enhance your health policy advocacy efforts. By doing so, you can become a trusted resource for patient care advocacy and encourage surgeon involvement in important discussions.
