Health, Medicine & Society

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 spans a range of timely topics and supports policymakers, scholars, and other stakeholders in their commitment to better health for all. A rigorously nonpartisan program, HMS believes in evidence-based medicine and science, and the power of truth, and pursues its work accordingly.
