Three ways you can support community hospitals

February 23, 2016

It's time to bring fairness to our local hospital industry and to reduce premiums for consumers.

That's why 1199ers and the Campaign for Fair Care are promoting solutions that would boost funding for jobs and services at community hospitals.

Massachusetts' current hospital funding system favors powerful, already wealthy hospitals in Boston. As a result of this imbalanced system, some community hospitals have even gone out of business.

If nothing changes, many more could soon close, jeopardizing jobs and care in our communities.



Here are three things you can do right now to show your support for Community Hospitals:



1. Sign up for the Thunderclap.

Be a part of the digital action using your Facebook, Twitter, or Tumblr!

2. Email your legislator.

Let your elected officials now that your support community hospitals!

3. RSVP to the hearing on March 8th on Facebook or by clicking here.
