In this SEE YOU NOW Insight, nurse leader Elizabeth Cohn, emergency physician Alister Martin, and health policy strategist Aliya Bhatia make the case that civic engagement, especially voting, is a public health intervention.  

From the policies that shape our health to the trust we place in the system, they reveal how nurses and healthcare providers can play a powerful role in strengthening both democracy and well-being, starting with a single question: Are you registered to vote?  

This small ask opens the door to agency, trust, and healthier communities, and reminds us that caring for the public includes empowering their voice.
