HealthCare REPAIR is building a movement for major change in the way health care is delivered and paid for in America. A project of the Mayo Clinic Health Policy Center, HealthCare REPAIR strives to ensure that quality health care will be available for all into the future.
Although America does not yet have a patient-centered health care system, we remain confident that your support, and the support of so many others, will bring about the change our health care system desperately needs. We would like to hear your ideas about moving patient-centered health reform forward.
How do you think our campaign should proceed? What would you change, and what would you keep the same? What kinds of activities do you want to engage in to support patient-centered health reforms? What messages should we use to bring more people into HealthCare REPAIR?
You can send your thoughts and ideas to us by emailing ideas@HealthCareRepair.org, or by leaving a voicemail message on our idea line at 1-800-819-5179. We look forward to hearing from you.
Keep Patient Centered Reform Moving Forward
Reforming health care in America will not become easier with the passage of time. The status quo is not sustainable, and Mayo Clinic remains firmly committed to moving forward with patient‐centered reform. Read our latest Perspectives for specific opinions.
