Policy Advancement & Advocacy

Amplifying Voices and Fostering Solutions

We believe that lasting public health impact is achieved not only through direct services but also by shaping policies that influence health outcomes.

Our approach to policy advancement combines grassroots mobilization with strategic partnerships to influence legislation and promote systemic change. By amplifying community voices and fostering collaborative solutions, we strive to build a more equitable and responsive public health landscape.

Advocacy for every voice is essential to creating healthier, thriving communities.

Partnering with Policy Makers

PHMC’s government relations strategy builds trusted relationships with elected officials and policymakers at the city and state levels. Our leaders serve on policy advisory committees and workgroups, helping to shape policies that drive change. As a trusted partner to government agencies, PHMC is central in advancing bold, community-centered public health initiatives.

Empowering the next generation is also central to our mission. Through youth-focused programs, we equip young leaders with the tools to advocate for their communities, engage in policy discussions and drive social change.

PHMC is one of the largest and most comprehensive public health organizations in the nation.
