Become an Advocate

ACU’s mission is two-fold: to improve the health of underserved communities and to develop and support those clinicians who choose to serve them.

ACU members — clinicians in practice, students, advocates, and academicians, as well as health care clinics, health departments, national, regional, and state primary care organizations, and professional societies — are on the front lines in delivering health care to America’s medically underserved communities. We serve individuals who typically have little or no other access to health care services. They are among the approximately 25 million people in this country (one in five) without health insurance. Often they lack access to pharmaceuticals, mental health, eye health and vision care, and oral care. Our members are also involved in health policy — working to establish a more more accessible, high-quality health care system. You can become and advocate to help thousands of health organizations every year with programs and tools.

ACU is continually expanding its advocacy efforts to make our health care system more responsive and more accessible to all in the United States. ACU encourages its members to be involved in advocacy work. To become an ACU Advocate, click below! It’s free, and it supports our shared mission to expand access to quality care for all.
