Patient & Public Health Organizations

Overview

We help patient advocacy organizations drive legislative and regulatory changes in public health, medical research, therapy development and access to care. We build bridges with agencies such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Institutes of Health, and the Food and Drug Administration to help clients secure funding and support for their projects, campaigns and research initiatives. We have advocated for laws and regulations that advance patient-focused drug development, and we’ve helped patient advocacy organizations engage payers to promote coverage policies that enhance access to care and treatments. Our professionals have played a key role in turning multiple pieces of legislation into law, and we’ve represented client interests in nearly every significant piece of health care legislation over the past two decades.
