Overview

Mission

The organization was established within the meaning of 501(c)(4) to educate the public and policymakers on healthcare related issues. The organization advocates for policies that allow patients to choose and use medical providers, promote the relationship between patients and their medical care providers, and provide patients independence and autonomy.

What it reported doing in 2012

The coalition to protect patients' rights (cppr) spent the last year advocating for health system reform that places patients in control of their own medical decisions with doctors as their trusted advisors. Examples include a phone program to recruit members, online education and recruitment, social media (twitter and facebook), media events, opinion editorials, letters to the editor, tv/radio interviews, and other grassroots efforts to educate elected officials.
