We are looking for volunteers to provide Election Protection to our hospitals in Allegheny County on Election Day. Every Election Day hundreds of our friends and neighbors who expected to be voting at the polls – have an unexpected illness, accident or other medical emergency. Without our help, they may not have an opportunity to vote. The Disability Voting Coalition of PA, in cooperation with the Election Protection Program, has taken on the challenge of providing volunteers at the 7 UPMC hospitals in Allegheny County: * Magee-Womens Hospital of UPMC * UPMC McKeesport * UPMC Mercy * UPMC Passavant * UPMC Presbyterian / Montefiore * UPMC Shadyside * UPMC St. Margaret We’re looking for volunteers who could – · Volunteer for part or all of Election Day from 8:30am to 8:00pm; · Provide notary services (we’re certain we need a notary for Shadyside Hospital; · Serve as a driver for our volunteer going to and from the Elections Department downtown (departing from each hospital around 4:00pm and 6:00pm. If you can volunteer in some capacity, please contact me by email pohanlon@drnpa.org or by phone .
