Improving health care by inspiring a balanced exchange of evidence, experience, and perspectives.

About Us

The Alliance for Health Policy is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to helping policymakers and the public better understand health policy, the root of the nation’s health care issues, and the trade-offs posed by various proposals for change.

We believe a better health care system begins with a balanced exchange of evidence, experience, and multiple perspectives.

Signature Series

Courageous Conversations. Innovative Events.

The annual Signature Series addresses challenging issues in health policy by convening cross-sector dialogue with experts in both policy and practice. Together, we critically examine and identify what’s at stake, as well as key areas of opportunity.

This year’s theme focuses on the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in health care and health policy.
