The ongoing, vital work being done by the CCCC and its member organizations in fighting for the health of those with chronic diseases would not be possible were it not for outstanding individuals who give freely of their time, talent, and resources to advocate to improve the lives of others. Their work often includes outreach into and advocacy for some of California’s most underserved, ethnically diverse communities, and on issues such as utilization management, step therapy, obesity, vaccinations, health equity, accumulator, and PBM practices that can create barriers to care for people with chronic conditions. These individuals have demonstrated their commitment by serving, educating, and empowering others. The Stars of Advocacy Gala celebrates these outstanding heroes of advocacy and ensures the continuation of the vital work to improve health care for California’s consumers with chronic diseases.
