Why Your Vote Matters
The 2022 midterm election is critical for the health of our community. Health care delivery only accounts for approximately 10–20% of the modifiable contributors affecting an individual’s health, well-being, and longevity. The other 80–90% are referred to as social determinants of health. The National Academy of Medicine and World Health Organization defines social determinants of health as “the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. These circumstances are shaped by the distribution of money, power, and resources at global, national, and local levels.” Hundreds of races from local city councils to the US House of Representatives will help determine whether our community has access to services and resources that will help close or widen the gap in health disparities in our community. Midterm elections typically have much lower voter participation than presidential elections so your vote will be even more important.
The My Vote. My Health. initiative is dedicated to increasing the participation of Latino voters in California with an emphasis on AltaMed Health Services service areas in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. AltaMed is positioned to play a key role in this election cycle by ensuring that both patients and the communities surrounding our clinics, whom we serve, are engaged in the process and empowered to turn out to vote both during the primary and general election cycle.
You can join our My Vote. My Health. efforts of ensuring that our communities have a voice this election by volunteering to help get out the vote in our target regions.
