Join the campaign. Help us gather the signatures for two ballot initiatives that will dramatically improve patient safety in Massachusetts hospitals, while also ensuring that taxpayer health care dollars are dedicated exclusively for patient care and needed services for all communities.
Last fall, our members and supporters gathered the first round of more than 100,000 signatures that were required to certify these initiatives by the Secretary of State. To finish the job and place these questions on the ballot in November we are required to gather another 20,000 different signatures from registered voters in Massachusetts prior to June 9.

- Patient Safety Act Signature Drive Campaign Flyer
