Everyone has had challenges navigating the health care system, either as a patient or a caregiver.
If you are living with a chronic condition or caring for someone who is, you are not alone. The National Health Council works alongside patient groups formed by people like you across the country to give you a voice in Washington.
- We strive to understand you and your loved one’s experiences living with a chronic condition and what medicine or treatments help you live a healthy, full life.
- We speak up for you in Washington, DC by making sure members of Congress and others consider the impact that their decisions have on everyday Americans.
We champion patients by:
- Fighting for timely access to the care and treatments they need when they and their health care provider determine they need it.
- Driving patient-centered research and innovation so that Americans continue to receive the best possible health care.
- Empower nonprofit patient organizations so that they have the tools and resources to best represent and support you.
