WNYHCC is a coalition of organizations dedicated to finding solutions to the crisis in health care access, quality and affordability.
We engage in educational programs, community action, and grassroots lobbying campaigns to bring about a universal health care system whereby everyone--no matter their occupation, income level, or status--has access to quality affordable health care.
Until our nation's health care system can be fundamentally reformed, we engage in legislative and educational efforts which are aimed at expanding health care access to more people and expanding understanding of our health care system among members of our communities. We continue engage in campaigns to support Medicaid, Medicare, and other sensible policies which provide people with health care access.
Thanks to all who attended the 2008 Legislative Reception.

Other activities:
- Development of a State Legislator "Report Card" to assess how well our policy- makers were taking action on various pieces of health legislation. To see a copy of the 2006 report, click here.
- The Citizens' Congressional Hearing on Health Care Solutions, held in November 2005 in coalition with dozens of other organizations, businesses, insurers, churches, unions, and community groups.
