lobbying - advocating for principles of patients' rights in health care reform legislation, through communications to elected officials, through grass-roots efforts urging the public to conact such officials, and through coordination with other groups with similar policy aims. In 2010, this was a major focus of the organization, as congress was debating passage of the affordable care act (aka obamacare). Cpr's work on these issues had a significant impact on the legislative debate, and helped ensure that obamacare, when passed, did not include a public option.
coalition outreach - cultivating relationships and sharing information of research and analysis among groups and individuals to advocate for patients' rights and health care reform.
