February 18, 2020 Altamed, Cooperative of American Physicians, Events, MondayRx 894 AltaMed Health Services is leading public health providers in empowering patients to change health outcomes through greater civic engagement. Since 2018 they have contacted over 200,000 infrequent voters with their non-partisan messages to register to vote and participate in elections. These messages are crafted through research on why people in under-served communities are overlooked by candidates and ballot measure campaigns, and how they can be engaged by addressing issues they identify as important to them. For Census 2020 and the upcoming primary and general elections they are applying this proven, five-touch model to all of their clinic locations in Los Angeles County and Orange County, and through partner providers in San Ysidro and Oakland, California.
