About Us

California Health Advocates is the leading Medicare advocacy and education organization in California.

Our statewide work includes:

Advocacy & Policy

Advocacy: Advocating on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries and their families, we target federal and state level legislative staff through media and educational campaigns. We also build and lead coalitions of strategic partners concerned with Medicare-related issues, such as the California Medicare Coalition.

Policy: As the premiere watchdog organization for Medicare in California, we conduct public policy research to support improved rights and protections of Medicare beneficiaries and their families. We frequently partner with other statewide and national Medicare organizations to promote policies that positively impact Medicare.

Education

We provide accurate and up-to-date information on Medicare through our website, California Medicare News e-newsletter, policy briefs and our widely-used fact sheets concerning the Medicare's most pressing issues. Our expert staff trainers also provide educational workshops, training and consultation to professionals on comprehensive Medicare topics and policy issues.
