title: Building coalitions.
abstract: Educating people on Medicare about their benefits and rights is a task often undertaken by multiple organizations in a given community. In some areas these groups have chosen to work together as a coalition in order to pool their capabilities and resources. In this brief, we explore the topic of coalition-building, focusing on specific "how-to's" and using real-life examples from the experiences of the Coalition to Monitor Medicare Managed Care (CMMMC) in Cleveland, OH.
