Ascension advocates for public policies that help expand access to affordable, quality care and strengthen the health of the communities we serve.
Guided by our Mission, we work with policymakers at the federal, state, and local levels to advance solutions that aim to improve healthcare for patients today and for future generations.
Ascension serves more than a million Medicaid and uninsured patients annually. We are transforming our care delivery model to make sure our patients receive the clinically appropriate care, in the right setting, at the right time. We also work with lawmakers to shape policies that help lower costs, reduce administrative barriers, and improve patient health.
Ascension supports policies that help increase transparency, streamline administrative processes, and strengthen the clinician-patient relationship so seniors can receive the care they need without unnecessary delays.
We advocate for policies that help shape a better future for healthcare – from lowering costs and reducing barriers to care, to fostering technological innovations like telehealth and remote patient monitoring.
Meaningful policy change happens through collaboration. Ascension works with leading industry associations and organizations to strengthen our advocacy efforts and advance our Mission.
