We know that our patients’ lives stretch beyond the walls of our medical centers. As a result, our policy and advocacy work involves many issues. We keep fighting for low-cost and nondiscriminatory healthcare, an end to HIV, legal protections for LGBTQ+ people, and justice in public safety.
From the battle to save the Affordable Care Act to condemning laws that would limit what teachers can say about sexual orientation and race in the classroom, we stand up for what is right for our patients, our clients, and all Ohioans.
