WHAT WOULD NEED TO HAPPEN TO HAVE MORE CHC's? Make CLINICs the unit of primary care service to support (versus the doctor) This means DIRECT OPERATIONAL FUNDING (like how schools are funded - teachers, don't pay "rent" out of their salary) 5/13

Vaccine Confidence is in our Hands! Help spread the word about our vaccine confidence library. We want health and community organizations to feel empowered to promote vaccines. Use resources in your waiting room, post them to a community board, or share them on social media!
