The West Health Policy Center is focused on research and education to identify innovations and policy solutions that can slow the trajectory of rising healthcare costs while improving access to—and the quality of—care, particularly for our nation’s growing population of seniors.
Specific areas of focus include reducing growth in U.S. spending on prescription drugs, promoting value-based care models, increasing price transparency, and limiting consumer exposure to high out-of-pocket costs.
Solely funded by philanthropists Gary and Mary West, the Policy Center is based in Washington, D.C., and is part of a family of nonpartisan, nonprofit organizations dedicated to lowering the cost of healthcare and successful aging.
