EVERY LEVEL OF HELP MATTERS
Start Where You Are
You do not have to do everything. There are meaningful ways to help whether you have a few minutes, specific skills, local knowledge, or an interest in becoming more involved.
A Few Minutes
Respond to an action alert, share important information, send an email, make a phone call, or help spread the word.
Local Information
Let us know about news, policy changes, pharmacy problems, treatment barriers, insurance issues, or other concerns in your area.
Use Your Skills
Research, writing, healthcare knowledge, policy experience, technology, graphics, social media, video, organization, public speaking, fundraising, and more can all help.
Help in Your State
Follow local issues, help with advocacy, connect with others, or help strengthen P.A.R.T. activity where you live.
Help Build
Help organize advocacy, develop a state chapter, contribute professional expertise, or explore an ongoing volunteer role.
BE OUR EYES AND EARS
Help Us Know What Is Happening in Your State
P.A.R.T. USA cannot be in every city and every state at the same time. We rely on people across the country to help us understand what is happening in their communities.
News involving pain care, prescribing, healthcare policy, patient access, or other important developments.
Proposed laws, hearings, agency actions, medical board matters, or other state policy developments.
Pharmacy barriers, medication shortages, changing policies, or patterns affecting legitimate prescriptions.
Difficulty finding care, treatment restrictions, forced changes, or other barriers affecting patients.
Prior authorization problems, coverage restrictions, denials, or administrative barriers.
Anything happening locally that you believe other patients or advocates should know about.
Sometimes one person sending us a news story or telling us about a local problem can be the first step toward a much larger advocacy response.
Your local knowledge can become part of a national effort.CONNECT WITH OTHERS
You Do Not Have to Advocate Alone
One of the challenges patients and advocates face is simply finding other people in their state who care about the same issues.
Through the form below, you can tell P.A.R.T. USA that you would like to connect with others in your state who have also chosen to connect.
You Stay in Control of Your Information
P.A.R.T. USA will only share contact information that you specifically authorize.
Your information will only be shared for this purpose with other individuals in your state who have also chosen to connect.
You may choose whether to authorize sharing of your email address, phone number, social media profile, or any combination of those options.
This is separate from the P.A.R.T. USA Member Directory.WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT?
Your Skills May Be Exactly What We Need
Advocacy requires many different people doing many different things. You do not have to fit into a traditional volunteer position.
Don’t see your skill listed? Tell us what you can do. Sometimes the ability we need most is the one we did not think to ask for.
