What’s the Benefit of Being an Advocate?

September 17, 2025

As physicians and healthcare leaders, you understand firsthand the policy and regulatory challenges that impact patient access to care. Yet at the federal level, less than 3% of lawmakers have a background in healthcare. That means the people making decisions about healthcare often lack perspective and knowledge.

That’s why advocacy matters. If you’re not at the table, you’re on the table. By sharing your experiences with lawmakers, you can help shape smarter policies that protect patients and strengthen healthcare.

How can I get involved and become an advocate?

At Zotec, our advocacy team mobilizes clients and employees to take action on pressing legislative or regulatory issues at both the state and federal levels. By tracking and responding to legislation and policy in real time, we’re able to make sure the healthcare community’s voice is heard when it matters most.

Becoming an advocate is quick and easy: simply text ZOTEC to 50457 or visit our Action Center. From there, you can send messages to lawmakers in just a few clicks using pre-drafted outreach you can personalize.

We also offer resources to keep you informed and equipped, including:
