PCPCC National Briefing: Health Care Costs and Value for the Consumer Advocate

Health Care Costs and Value for the Consumer Advocate

Last month, Consumers Union, the advocacy arm of Consumer Reports, launched the Health Care Value Hub, a networking and resource center for advocates working for lower costs and better value in health care. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the Health Care Value Hub will support and connect consumer advocates across the United States, providing comprehensive, research-based information and tools to help them advocate for policies that reduce health care costs and increase quality.

On Thursday, April 30 at 1 p.m. EST, Lynn Quincy, Hub Director, joined the PCPCC National Briefing to discuss the new Health Care Value Hub.
