We take on big challenges
in public health and medicine
and inspire solutions.

The Health, Medicine & Society Program of the Aspen Institute brings together influential groups of thought leaders, decisionmakers, and the informed public to consider 21st-century health challenges in the U.S. and around the world and to identify practical solutions for addressing them. At the heart of most of our activities is a package of research, convenings, and publications that span a range of timely topics and support policymakers, scholars, advocates, and other stakeholders in their commitment to better health for all. A rigorously nonpartisan program, we believe in evidence-based medicine and science, and the power of truth, and pursue our work accordingly.
