Vot-ER integrates voter registration into the health care delivery system. Vot-ER is founded on a core belief that empowered voices and full participation in the democratic process lead to positive health outcomes. More specifically, Vot-ER connects healthcare institutions and providers with the tools, training, and community to register colleagues and patients to vote, bringing providers and patients together to promote civic engagement and create healthier communities across the United States. Vot-ER views hospitals and community health clinics as central touchpoints in communities – much like schools, DMVs, and libraries – where citizens should consider their civic health as well as their physical and mental health. In addition to providing a range of healthcare-specific resources to hospitals, clinics, and healthcare providers, Vot-ER also develops leaders through its Civic Health Fellowship and builds community through the national Civic Health Month initiative which takes place every August.
