Achieving high-quality, affordable care for all requires action and change. The National Priorities Partnership is targeting action in areas that yield the best results for patients. The path forward created by the Partnership's Priorities and Goals encourages improved public reporting, payment reform, better use of technology and information, patient-centered care, and more.

The Partners are working to spur action at all levels to improve healthcare. But the Priorities don't belong to the Partners alone. Transformative reform depends on people and organizations at all levels working together to act on the Priorities and Goals.

We encourage you to join us not just in calling for reform, but in enacting it nationally and locally across the country. What can you do now to join, support, or endorse this national movement?

• Take Action. What can your organization do right now to help the nation achieve these National Priorities and Goals? How do the Priorities and Goals align with your organization’s strategic goals? 

• Take a Stand. Get endorsement from your organizational leadership, or issue a press release announcing your organization’s intent to align with and implement the Priorities. 

• Spread the Word. Print and share fact sheets and other materials, and download and share full copies or the executive summary of the report.

• Stay Informed. Read newspaper articles, press releases from other organizations supporting the National Priorities, and other news about the Priorities and Goals, on the News page. 

• Stay Tuned. In the coming months, there will be opportunities to connect with others on action plans and initiatives, so stay plugged in and stay tuned. 

We will be monitoring our progress closely and challenging ourselves to do more - more effectively and more quickly. Continue checking back here for updates on our progress in achieving world-class, affordable healthcare for all Americans, and learn more about promising work already underway.
