Our Mission Is

To promote good health and affordable, high-quality health care for all Americans by identifying and analyzing key policy issues, facilitating dialogue among stakeholders, and leveraging the knowledge and experience of the nation's largest integrated delivery system.

This is accomplished through

• Proactive identification and analysis of significant national health policy issues;
• Organization of internal and external resources to analyze such issues;
• Sponsorship of stakeholder roundtables on specific topics;
• Development of policy reports for a variety of audiences; and,
• Building coalitions to shape and influence policy.

Emphasis is placed on developing policy alternatives and exploring their operational implications, building on the experience of Kaiser Permanente, the largest privately organized health care delivery system in the United States.
