  The Greater Hartford Interfaith Coalition for Equity and Justice is reaching out to its members and other people of faith to engage with each other about the urgent need of universal health care for all people in Connecticut.
  When you expend yourselves on behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness. (Isaiah 58:10).

One of Jill’s key responsibilities is to build relationships between the Foundation and the health care community, including provider associations and voluntary health organizations. Her past work experience includes serving as Assistant Vice President for Planning at Mount Sinai Hospital in Hartford, Support Services Administrator at Kaiser Permanente, and most recently as Chapter Programs Director for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Greater Connecticut Chapter.

  John R. Battista, M.D. is a practicing physician at the StayWell Health Clinic, a federally qualified health center in Waterbury, Connecticut which serves the poor and uninsured, and in New Milford, Connecticut. He is the President of the Connecticut Coalition for Universal Health Care, a leading organization supporting single payer, universal health insurance in Connecticut. He is the author of the Connecticut Health Care Security Act to enact a Canadian style health insurance program for the state of Connecticut.

  Dr. Reza Mansoor, Hartford Hospital Cardiologist, member of the Muslim Coalition of Connecticut says, "Universal health care must be considered a basic right, along with food and shelter." In an Article written by The Hartford News Staff Writer Andy Hart Dr. Mansoor was quoted as saying; “The United States, by contrast, is one of world’s richest countries but still does not provide healthcare for all its people. It’s not a question of whether we can afford it, we can afford it”.
