About Key Influencers in the Campaign for Health Care

Last modified Monday, February 11, 2008 12:41 PM

In thinking through our contribution to public discourse about public health, we identified a number of individuals and organizations whose often heroic efforts informed both our thinking about the logic of the health care debate, and our hopes for how our work might contribute to their efforts.

In addition to inspiring our efforts, the individuals and organizations listed in this section are, in one or more ways, making use of our work in the course of theirs. Through conferences, conference calls, blogs and websites, they are amplifying our voice and helping us spread the word.

We list them and link to their sites in the spirit of acknowledgement and reciprocity. It's all part of building a stronger progressive infrastructure and a community of allies.

Read what key influencers have to say about the campaign.

Key Influencers Speak Up
"I applaud the Rockridge Institute for their report, The Logic of the Health Care Debate, and the incisive thinking it contains. In order to transform our approach to health we are going to need to simultaneously put the focus on addressing what causes illness and injury in the first place and reforming the medical care system. The Rockridge Institute analysis helps move us toward a discussion of what is really important: working together to create communities, institutions, and a health care system that encourage, support, and protect health."

Larry Cohen, MSW, Executive Director, Prevention Institute
