How You Can Participate in Advocacy Year-Round
The Rocky Mountain MS Center is a proud member of the Chronic Care Collaborative (CCC) — a group of more than 50 different health organizations in Colorado representing a wide range of chronic diseases. The Collaborative meets at least monthly to discuss policies important to member organizations and their constituents. The CCC advocates at the Capitol to the State General Assembly every year on Chronic Disease Awareness Day where they educate legislators about the burdens of chronic disease on families, budgets, and people’s lives.
Advocacy is not limited to organized events like Chronic Disease Awareness Day. While we always remain politically neutral, there are times when legislators need to hear from people like you. It’s your right to talk to your legislators, and share with them the unique perspective of someone who’s life has been touched by multiple sclerosis. We encourage you to contact your state and national legislators and share your personal story with them.
