AN EVENING OF RECONNECTING

In the complicated and ever-changing field of health policy, we know that the work by experts, policymakers, press members, and other leaders is never easy – and never done alone. That's why we want to celebrate the people who have kept and continue to keep the conversation going.

This year, we invite you to join the Alliance for Health Policy for an evening of reconnecting with your friends and colleagues you've met throughout your health policy journey as well as an opportunity to meet new friends along the way. The Alliance Annual Dinner will bring together dedicated experts and emerging leaders in health and acknowledge people like you, who recommit every day to learning, educating, and sharing your knowledge of health and health care issues.
