Module 3: Becoming An Advocate For Yourself & Your Community

The final module moves beyond personal navigation to community empowerment. It's about sharing knowledge and influencing change.

Participants will learn to read and scrutinize a medical bill for common errors. We’ll provide a script for contacting a billing department to challenge a charge or negotiate a lower cost.

This lesson encourages participants to share their knowledge with family and friends. We'll discuss how a shared understanding of healthcare economics strengthens a community's ability to demand more equitable care.

We'll conclude with a discussion on broader health policies and how they impact everyday lives. The goal is to help participants recognize that healthcare isn't just a personal issue — it's a systemic one — and that their voices can contribute to a healthier society for everyone.
