What benefits are provided to affiliates of the American Health Council?

Advocacy

As a nationwide advocacy organization, the American Health Council provides comprehensive advocacy support for our affiliate base — all free of charge.

The focus of our advocacy work is determined solely by our affiliates, and is not influenced by outside parties. Too often are efforts of healthcare organizations dictated by their corporate donors and advertising clients to benefit their agenda.

At the AHC, we are 100% funded by the services we provide to our affiliates. In return, we serve their advocacy needs, and theirs alone.

Our advocacy includes, but not limited to:

  • Research and outreach
  • Editorial and publishing services
  • Petition development, implementation, and promotion
  • Promotional support for affiliate fundraising efforts

More information is available on our Advocacy page.
