Congress needs to act NOW to ensure hospitals — like those in D.C. — have the resources to care for patients and communities as they respond to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Contact your lawmakers now and tell them: Hospitals are on the front lines and they urgently need your support!

We need you to take action now:

Hospitals are managing a spike in COVID-19 cases, and there will be more in the coming weeks. They are in need of immediate access to critical funding to ensure they have the resources to treat everyone who needs care and prevent the spread of the virus.

Right now, Congress is working on a new emergency package to respond to this unprecedented outbreak. We need that legislation to include immediate funding for hospitals to help protect our health care workforce and increase our capacity to treat patients.

Contact your lawmakers now and tell them to protect patients by giving hospitals the financial help they need in this legislation.


In order to prepare and respond to COVID-19, hospitals need funding for:
  • Essential protective gear
  • Child care for doctors' and nurses' children
  • Additional supplies to increase care capacity
Many hospitals, including those in rural areas, were already stretched thin before coronavirus, and now they're preparing to shoulder the brunt of this unprecedented outbreak.

We need our lawmakers to act now to provide vital funding for hospitals across the nation, to ensure they are able to care for patients and prepare for the outbreak.

Contact your lawmakers now and tell them to prioritize hospitals and the patients they care for in the forthcoming spending package!

In the meantime, keep you and your family safe with the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Thank you,

Coalition to Protect America's Health Care
