fellowship opportunity

[Guest guest]

For anyone interested in health care advocacy, here is an interesting

fellowship opportunity:

Families USA is proud to announce the creation of the Wellstone Fellowship for

Social Justice. Throughout his Senate career, Senator D. Wellstone

built a

reputation as an advocate for social justice and as an outspoken champion for

those who lacked a voice in the national arena. The Wellstone Fellow

provides a

unique opportunity to honor Senator Wellstone's memory by promoting equity in

health care.

The Wellstone Fellowship is a year-long, full-time, salaried position that

will

begin in September 2004. The fellow will be engaged in health care advocacy

work in Families USA's office in Washington, D.C., where he or she will learn

about Medicare, Medicaid, efforts to achieve universal coverage, and other

important health policy issues. Specifically, the fellow will be engaged in

Families USA's outreach to and mobilization of communities of color. Through

this work, the fellow will also learn about conducting health care campaigns,

and part of his or her time will be spent working with state-based health care

advocacy organizations.

We are including a brief
