NPAF Policy Consortium
Patients as Partners
Bridging the gap between policy and lived experiences.
About Policy Consortium
NPAF’s Policy Consortium pulls together in one place the lived experiences and perspectives of patients, caregivers and partners in under-resourced communities that are often under-represented in healthcare research and reform discussions.
This quarterly forum features dynamic dialogue that invites our audience to explore together the impact and implications of serious illnesses and health policies on peoples’ lives.
NPAF Policy Consortium happens four times a year in March, June, September, and November. These are held virtually.
Any individual or partner organization can participate. We welcome patients, caregivers, patient advocates and navigators, social workers, community health workers, health professionals, health journalists, policymakers, and others.
We use the discussion to guide resource development, grassroots campaigns, research projects and policy reform.
We welcome financial sponsors. Please contact Anabella Aspiras, Senior Director, Development and Strategy or complete the contact form.
Our current sponsors include Bristol Myers Squibb, Johnson & Johnson, Lilly, and Vertex.
Policy Consortium is made possible with generous support from our sponsors:
