Member Benefits

For 50 years, the Coalition for Health Funding has led the public health and health research community in strengthening the health continuum through advocacy and education. Our dues-paying member organizations represent the interests of more than 100 million patients and consumers, health providers, professionals, and researchers.

With the collective appreciation that “a rising tide lifts all boats,” the Coalition’s members work collaboratively to increase discretionary funding for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), its principle agencies, operating divisions, and offices and programs that support and protect America’s health through:

Education about the impact of federal funding decisions on the health continuum through our events, reports, letters, and press statements. 

Outreach to legislators, agency leaders, and White House officials through our congressional “Hill Days” and other face-to-face meetings.

Coordination of unified messages through community-wide letter campaigns, talking points, and social media toolkits.
