Advocacy

We promote grassroots advocacy and enlist the support of people and organizations that have influence in our community. Advocacy works to affect social and public policy change in order to promote both community health and healthy communities. Queen of the Valley Medical Center advocates for vulnerable populations by developing relationships with policymakers and by targeting education efforts.
