The Alliance for Health Policy Launches New “Bipartisan Learning Communities” Program

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Washington, D.C. – The Alliance for Health Policy is proud to announce the launch of its upcoming congressional fellowship, a key component of the newly established “Bipartisan Learning Communities” program. This initiative is designed to foster collaboration across party lines, inspire innovative solutions, and build a robust leadership pipeline for the future of health policy.

The congressional fellowship will offer an immersive experience for participants to engage deeply with critical health coverage issues, guided by the principles of bipartisanship and evidence-based policy. The fellowship is the culmination of insights gathered from three dedicated working group meetings, where experts in the field collaborated to identify the best ways to provide educational and professional development resources to congressional staff. The working group also produced insights for a Working Group Meeting Report available now on the Alliance website.

The Alliance will employ these principles in designing a curriculum for the coming year for their Bipartisan Learning Communities, and ensure that the features identified, selectivity, personal connection, and best practices in adult learning are included in their programming. The Alliance is releasing this report to share the findings with organizations with similar missions that can benefit from the collective wisdom of the working group to define and develop curricula that provide educational and professional development value. 

“At the Alliance, we believe that real change in health policy can only happen when we break down the silos that have long dominated the conversation,” said Claire Sheahan, M.S.c., President and CEO of the Alliance. “Our Bipartisan Learning Communities program, and specifically this fellowship, is about creating a space where diverse voices can come together, share ideas, and work towards meaningful, sustainable solutions in health care.”

To celebrate the launch of the “Bipartisan Learning Communities” program, the Alliance will host a fall social event, providing a platform for those interested in the fellowship to learn more about the initiative, network with peers, and engage directly with thought leaders in health policy.
