IMMIGRATION RESOURCES

Mountain Family Health Centers is recognized as a Hispanic Advocacy Center of Excellence (HACE.)  HACE, a new iteration of NACHC’s Advocacy Center of Excellence (ACE), is an initiative to institutionalize grassroots advocacy at health centers by engaging Hispanic patients and community members in advocacy and giving them a role in the health center movement.

Our goal is to be inclusive of all cultures and demographics. Being designated as a HACE is a testament to our efforts to provide educational materials in both English and Spanish to ensure our message reaches as many of our patients as possible.  We encourage people to enlist in the Advocacy Network  (http://www.hcadvocacy.org/  orhttp://www.hcadvocacy.org/defensor ) to receive important updates on policy issues as well as easy methods for contacting local and state legislators about important issues.

Within the last year MFHC has established an Advocacy Task Force, made up of employees and community partners, who meet once a month to discuss current issues facing MFHC and community health centers across the country.  Anyone interested in joining the Advocacy Task Force can contact Ross Brooks at rbrooks@mountainfamily.org.
