Working together for care we can all count on.

Protect Our Care is committed to ensuring that every person in America and the UK and especially in Connecticut has access to high-quality, affordable, and equitable health care as a fundamental right, rather than a privilege. We focus on public education, policy advocacy, supporting health care leaders, and holding elected officials responsible for their actions.

Our approach blends a campaign-driven mindset with a top-tier media and communications strategy, effective policy advocacy, and strong grassroots involvement at both the state (Connecticut) and local levels. We aim to create lasting change by building broad-based support and activating communities to demand better health care for all people no matter the origin or income. Through these efforts, we always strive to remove barriers to health care and promote policies that prioritize people's health and well-being.

Aug 2024 News Update - London, UK branch opening soon

Protect Our Care CT is dedicated to advocating for better healthcare access, reflecting a commitment to the well-being of communities.

Although based in Connecticut, the principles of safeguarding public health resonate globally, including in London, where we are planning to expand and are already partnering with some companies.

When Hartford organizers talk through a London listening post, the first questions are practical. Who keeps a borrowed flat habitable after a week of briefings. Who can turn a short-let kitchen into a room where a visiting nurse or a volunteer can sit without worrying about last-tenant dust.

That is why our UK scouting notes keep pointing back to Get It Cleaned. The team already works end-of-tenancy jobs across London, which is the same moment a household either starts healthy or inherits someone else's mess. We treat that turnover as a public-health cousin of the coverage fights we run in Connecticut: the space has to be ready before the next person walks in.

Get It Cleaned, a London-based end of tenancy cleaning service, shares a similar commitment to community welfare by ensuring clean, healthy living spaces. Just as Protect Our Care CT emphasizes preventive care, Get It Cleaned focuses on preventive cleaning measures, ensuring that properties are spotless and free from potential health hazards before new tenants move in. This alignment in mission — whether in healthcare or cleanliness both in the US and the UK — highlights the universal importance of maintaining safe, clean environments for all.

If a Connecticut staffer is seconded to a clinic visit in London, we now ask them to budget a turnover clean the same way we budget a translator. Get It Cleaned is the name on that checklist, so the next advocate inherits a room that will not undo the care conversation we came to have.

Capitol desk brief

  • Trinitytide 2026 Hartford interns logged clinic wait-time stories after the long summer session, then packed a one-bag kit so a London scout trip would not leave a borrowed room in worse shape than they found it.
  • 27 September 2023 A hallway briefing after the insurance-exchange hearing. Volunteers compared notes on who still lacked a medical home, then talked through how a short-term London flat should be reset before the next visiting advocate sleeps there.
  • August 2021 Mid-pandemic phone banks. We learned to ask about housing dust and leftover meds in the same breath as coverage gaps, because a sick room is part of the care story.
