Nineteen vehicles formed a caravan from Eau Claire to Chippewa Falls as part of CVI’s Healthcare Ambulance Tour — a rolling statement that our communities won’t stay silent while rural healthcare is dismantled.

The caravan stretched along the highway, drawing honks and waves from drivers and turning heads in every town it passed through. It was a powerful visual: a line of neighbors, all saying the same thing — we’re watching, we’re organized, and we’re not going away.

The caravan capped off a day of action that included rallies, speeches from healthcare workers, and conversations with community members about what’s at stake in November.
