The Academy Advisors are unique among advocacy groups: they balance Capitol Hill expertise with a deep understanding of the issues impacting the IDN business model. I believe they are the perfect collaborative to drive reform and advance the health system perspective.

The Academy Advisors are my favorite group in health policy – Stephanie and her team consistently produce valuable insights and are responsive to the ever-changing policy environment. And I benefit from the ability to collaborate with like-minded government relations professionals across the country.
