The White Coats For Change (WCC) project is a transformative initiative aimed at equipping and empowering health care providers to actively engage in civic activities and drive systemic change.
The project was born out of my frustration as a health care provider. I grew weary of prescribing solutions that I knew were nearly impossible for my patients to achieve. The need for a substantial impact in our community led me to seek an alternative approach. WCC is my response—a departure from temporary fixes, aiming to instigate genuine systemic change. It's my commitment to healing on a broader scale, both within individual lives and the health care system as a whole. There are 3 key objectives: (1) Learning about advocacy and civic engagement; (2) civic participation, and (3) Activation in health care policy forums to bring the voice of the community health care systems.
