Did you know that your medical appointments only determine 20% of your health?


Bridging Health and Civic Engagement


Every election is very important for the health of our community. Did you know that the healthcare services we receive only account for about 10-20% of what affects our health? The other 80-90% comes from things like where we live, work, learn, and grow—often called the “social determinants of health".

These factors are shaped by how money, power, and resources are shared at the local and national levels. Local elections, such as city council races, all the way to races for the US House of Representatives or US Senate, will help decide whether our community gets the services and resources needed to reduce health gaps and improve well-being for everyone.

Voting in EVERY election will help shape the future of our community's health.
