The Aspen Institute Health Innovation Project is a collaboration of experts whose broad perspectives represent the health care system itself — physicians, health plan leaders, policymakers, health care researchers, and patients — and whose shared intent is to create a delivery system that is coherent, cost-effective, and safe for all. It is an initiative of Aspen’s Health Stewardship Project and was launched in partnership with Wellpoint, Inc. The Project’s forthcoming work will focus on charting a path to the ideal system.

Please join us on Friday, March 2, for an Aspen Institute event to mark the release of “Reinventing Health Care: The Barriers to Innovation,” the first report from Aspen’s newest initiative, the Health Innovation Project.
