New HLC Paper Discusses Public-Private Partnership Solutions To Address Americans’ Chronic Disease, Improve Health
A new policy brief from the Healthcare Leadership Council (HLC), an association of CEOs and C-suite executives from all sectors of healthcare, discusses public-private partnership innovations and solutions to address non-clinical drivers of health. In line with the Administration and HHS Secretary Kennedy’s ‘Make America Healthy Again’ (MAHA) agenda, the paper highlights an increasing focus on how these factors impact a person’s health – from nutrition, food quality and safety, to physical activity and environmental impacts.
HLC and our members remain committed to partnering with governmental leaders to advance policy solutions to support the well-being of Americans by prioritizing illness prevention and combatting chronic disease.
The policy brief summarizes solutions examined at an HLC roundtable event, Helping Patients and Communities: Opportunities to Improve Health, featuring experts representing companies and non-profit organizations, academia, and government. Their resulting recommendations are summarized below:
- Improve Incentives and Ensure Predictability in Public Programs
- Clarify the Definition of Medical Expenses in MLR Rules
