What We Do

Founded in 1999, the Institute draws on experts from a variety of backgrounds – physicians and other health care providers, clinical and health services researchers, public health professionals, economists, policy analysts, and communications experts.

Our work may complement, but does not include, lobbying, direct advocacy, regulatory relations or issues management.
