Alliance for Health Policy

What Alliance for Health Policy does

The Alliance for Health Policy is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 1992 (originally as the Alliance for Health Reform, rebranded in 2017) and headquartered in Washington, D.C. The organization is a nonpartisan convener and educator for the U.S. health policy community, primarily serving congressional staff, federal agency officials, health care stakeholders (providers, payers, patient advocates, academics), journalists, and the interested public. Its stated mission is to inspire a balanced exchange of evidence, experience, and perspectives across the political spectrum.

The Alliance's core product surface is programming rather than technology. Core offerings include the annual Signature Series, the annual Health Policy Academy bootcamp for congressional and agency staff, the Health Policy Forecast Symposium, the COVID-19 Webinar Series (22 sessions), and the newly launched Bipartisan Learning Communities (BLC) Congressional Fellowship — a 10-month career development program for congressional staff in its inaugural 2025 cohort. Supporting resources include the Health Policy Handbook, insights reports, and topic pages covering Medicare, Medicaid & CHIP, health care costs, and emerging areas such as AI in health care. The underlying technology stack is conventional: virtual event platforms and webinar infrastructure supporting a national audience, with no proprietary AI or software products.

The revenue model is donations- and sponsorship-driven. Unrestricted donations from individuals, corporations, trade associations, and foundations fund Capitol Hill briefings, expert round tables, and educational events. Visionary sponsors named in the input include Aetna, Anthem, Ascension, Bristol-Myers Squibb, and Health is Primary; strategic programming partners include the Commonwealth Fund and NIHCM. Programming is offered free to policymakers and the public. The organization operates with a lean team of approximately 10 staff.
