Action
We are a community-based advocacy organization. We work in partnership with individuals, healthcare providers, and civic and religious leaders in neighborhoods to:
- Protect access to critical healthcare services
- Better understand the urgent healthcare issues facing our communities
- Educate our communities about the plight of the uninsured
- Advocate for universal coverage for all Americans
The Healthcare Education Project is a joint effort of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East and the Greater New York Hospital Association. Together, the two organizations represent 350,000 healthcare workers and over 250 non-for-profit hospitals, nursing homes, and home care providers.
HEP’s mission is to protect and expand access to quality, affordable healthcare for all Americans through education, advocacy, and coalition building.
