Penn Washington Health
Amplifies Penn’s leadership in evidence-based care by bringing together experts to examine and collaborate on policy solutions supporting affordable, healthy, and positive aging.
Our Focus:
Advances in medicine and public health are transforming how care is delivered, financed, and experienced. Penn Washington’s health initiative brings together expertise from across the University of Pennsylvania—including leaders in University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing and Penn Medicine—to examine policy solutions that support accessible, high-quality care and healthier aging. Drawing on Penn’s strengths in clinical research, health policy, and evidence-based practice, the initiative highlights innovations such as telemedicine, workforce development, and new care delivery models. Through dialogue with policymakers and practitioners, Penn Washington translates Penn’s research into insights that strengthen health systems, improve patient outcomes, and support affordable care for aging populations.
Health Care Affordability: Evidence and Federal Policy Options
PennLDI, in partnership with Penn Washington, hosted an event for Congressional staff and policy leaders to examine the drivers of high health care costs in the U.S. and the policy approaches to improve affordability. The discussion highlighted key evidence, tradeoffs, and practical considerations for federal policymakers seeking to make health care more affordable for Americans.
