National Academy for State Health Policy

The National Academy for State Health Policy (NASHP) is dedicated to excellence in state health policy and practice. Since its inception in 1987, NASHP has provided state health policy leaders with access to timely, unbiased information on pressing health care issues. Because NASHP recognizes that responsibility for health care does not reside in a single state agency, department, or branch of government, it strives to foster productive interchange across all lines of authority. Each year, NASHP conducts policy analysis, provides training and technological assistance to states, and - through its publications, annual state health policy conference, media briefings, and website - disseminates information designed to assist states in the development of practical, innovative solutions to complex health policy issues.

NASHP has two locations - one in Portland, Maine, and the other in Washington, DC
