The National Health Council (NHC) recognizes the international nature of health care advocacy, even for patient groups that operate primarily in the United States. The NHC International Patient Forum: How the U.S. Patient Community Can Be Informed, Involved, and Influential in International Dialogues and Discussions, offers NHC patient group and nonprofit members the opportunity to share information and strategic thinking on international patient issues. The meeting is designed to set the stage for a broader discussion and prioritize international issues important to the patient community and determine next steps.
