NHC Values
Integrity, collaboration, and transparency guide all aspects of the National Health Council’s interactions among the diverse sectors of the health community. We are patient-focused and forward-thinking, ever mindful of our mission.

Who We Are
The National Health Council (NHC) unites nearly 200 national organizations—including leading patient groups, research institutions, providers, caregivers, and businesses across the health care sector—to drive patient-centered health policy. Representing 200+ million Americans with chronic diseases and disabilities, the NHC strengthens its members’ collective influence to expand access to quality, affordable, and equitable health care. The NHC fosters collaboration to shape policies that reflect the needs of patients.

The NHC welcomes partnership proposals that address broad health ecosystem issues and elevate the patient voice. We encourage potential collaborators to contact us as early as possible to explore potential partnerships. This helps us engage as true partners to co-develop project objectives and deliverables.
