Advancing Policy & Supporting Implementation

A platform for doctors to influence change through community education.

We connect doctors with opportunities to tell their stories, and those of their patients, to decision-makers in order to illuminate the human impacts of policy outcomes. When those with megaphones spread dangerous mis/disinformation, we empower doctors to correct the record

OUR CURRENT STRATEGIES

Policymaker Education

We provide valuable information to lawmakers to ensure they remain informed about key health care issues and their impact on constituents.

Physicians play a valuable role in explaining health outcomes of policy decisions for their patients and communities.

Grasstops & Grassroots Advocacy

We’re blending high-level strategies and community advocacy for maximum impact.

From organizing physicians via simple petition drives to coordinating meetings between doctors and their members of Congress, we use thoughtful and creative techniques, powered by doctors, to make a difference.

Leveraging Community Leaders

We’re engaging influential community leaders and physicians to advocate for policy change at the highest levels, driving change through their trusted voices and networks.

Working with and leading various coalitions across states, we’ve earned a reputation as a trusted and effective health care partner for other organizations as well as local, state, and federal leaders.

Patient-Centered Coalitions

We’re building powerful partnerships to create a health care system that works for everyone.

We leverage our expertise and resources to support coalitions and respond to legislative opportunities in states. We’re eager to share insights across states to help replicate successful strategies in areas with potential for change.

STRATEGY HIGHLIGHTS

Implementing State Abortion Ballot Initiatives

In states like Michigan where abortion access ballot initiatives have passed, we’ve worked with partners in those states to identify which laws may conflict with the amendments and mobilized our doctors network to advocate for corresponding policy changes to allow for full and affordable abortion access

Implementing Policies to Rein in Prescription Drug Costs

Since the creation of Colorado’s Prescription Drug Affordability Board, we’ve worked with partners to make sure the Board is doing its job to help rein in drug costs.

Physician members in Colorado have submitted testimony to the Board applauding their work and encouraging them to set meaningful upper payment limits on prescription drugs under review and continued to generate earned media around the importance of lowering drug costs for Colorado patients.
