The American Medical Association, the American College of Physicians, and Health & Human Services formally recognize voting as a determinant of health. Given this, ACP Arizona has partnered with Vot-ER to ensure our patients have agency and voice in shaping the 80% of health outcomes that are determined beyond clinical walls. We partnered on a webinar on August 28 to help physicians discover how voting impacts health and learn to use their voice to encourage voter registration.
Vot-ER is a nonpartisan, health professional-driven organization working to integrate civic engagement into healthcare. The Vot-ER Badge is an ongoing initiative.
- The Vot-ER Badge is a fast, nonpartisan, HIPAA-compliant badge backer to impact your patient’s health beyond the medical care that they receive
- Healthcare professionals can simply wear their free badge backer, ask about voter registration, and have patients scan the QR code to check that they are registered to vote at their current address
- Closer to major election dates, Vot-ER resources also help patients find out where to vote or get their mail-in ballots
You can help your patients have their voices heard by ordering a Vot-ER Badge today. Please select “Arizona Chapter of the American College of Physicians” under organizations to register with our group.
