Advocacy Center

With over 400 members, the CUA is the largest statewide non-profit organization representing practicing urologists and advocating for their patients in California. Working with other organizations like the California Medical Association, the CUA plays a major role in raising the visibility of our grassroots advocacy, to ensure that the urologist voice is heard on important issues impacting patient health care in the state legislature and in Congress.

Why be an Advocate

Taking action, whether we do it alone, with others in our community, or with our society, is the start of every journey that ended with a positive outcome. We hope this information can serve as a guide and resource to help save you time and be a more effective advocate for urology and your patients. If you have suggestions, please let us know. Thank you.
