Join the Campaign

Membership in Health Care Without Harm is open to non-profit organizations and healthcare facilities and systems.

Organizations become members of the coalition by:

• Having a thorough discussion within their membership to make certain that they support the mission and goals of HCWH and want to actively participate in accomplishing them
• Getting approval from their board of directors or other governing body of the organization
• Sending a letter, on the organization's letterhead/stationery, that states the group's support for HCWH, its desire to participate fully in the work of the campaign, and provides contact information for a designated main contact person within the organization

For general questions about membership, contact Colleen Funkhouser at 703-243-0056.
