National Health Policy Conference (NHPC)

The National Health Policy Conference (NHPC), co-sponsored by AcademyHealth and Health Affairs, will take a first look at plans for health care reform as the nation welcomes new and returning administrators and policymakers. Leading experts including government officials, academics, policy analysts, and researchers will convene and provide their perspectives on what the key health policy issues will be for the nation in 2009.

This first gathering of the new policy players will offer a comprehensive look at what changes are on the horizon for health policy in Washington. Attendees will have the opportunity to shape the discussion in breakout sessions highlighting health care reform's impact on the public and private sector, the tools needed for change, and the benefits for consumers.

Registration for the conference opens Wednesday, October 1
