Immigrant health stories needed

The Colorado Coalition for the Medically Underserved (CCMU) and the Coalition for Immigrant Health are looking for storytellers to work with media as we receive requests. They would love storytellers from two perspectives: 
  1. Patient stories (especially patients who live in these counties: Alamosa, Baca, Bent, Conejos, Costilla, Crowley, Custer, Huerfano, Kiowa, Las Animas, Mineral, Otero, Prowers, Pueblo, Rio Grande, Saguache, Adams, El Paso, and Jefferson), and 
  2. Health care leader perspective (including but not limited to providers, administrators, CEOs).
CCMU will work one-on-one with storyteller volunteers to prepare them for media interviews, and will also work to protect storyteller identity if storyteller would prefer to conceal name and photos (e.g., if a person is an immigrant). These stories will help boost much-needed attention among constituents, legislators, and other decision-makers on how much we value health for immigrants in Colorado. Once you've expressed your interest, you are free to decline or accept any opportunity that comes your way. Interested storytellers should contact Aubrey Hill (aubrey.hill@ccmu.org).
