Policy that keeps pace with medicine

The future of healthcare should be personal.

PHA works to ensure that healthcare policy keeps pace with medical progress, so informed patients and qualified physicians can make individualized decisions based on evidence, clinical judgment, and responsible standards of care.

We bring together physicians, patients, researchers, policymakers, and healthcare innovators to shape modern healthcare policy, protect the patient-provider partnership, and expand responsible access to care.

Our North Star

The Patient-Provider Partnership

At the center of healthcare is a relationship: a patient and a trusted healthcare provider making individualized decisions about that patient's health.

PHA works to protect and strengthen that relationship by advancing responsible patient access, independent medical judgment, meaningful informed consent, stronger evidence, appropriate patient protections, and policy that can evolve alongside increasingly personalized care.

This principle guides our work across every area of medicine and policy we engage in.

What that means in practice

Our Active Advocacy

Federal Advocacy

Make Telemedicine Permanent

Telemedicine is no longer an experiment. Patients and providers increasingly rely on it as part of modern healthcare.

PHA is working to advance a durable federal framework for telemedicine prescribing that protects patients, preserves responsible physician-directed care, and gives providers and healthcare organizations the regulatory certainty needed to serve patients responsibly.

State Advocacy

Protect the Patient-Provider Partnership

Many of the decisions that shape individualized medicine are made at the state level through legislatures, medical boards, pharmacy boards, and other regulatory bodies.

PHA is building a state-level advocacy capability to protect responsible patient access, independent medical judgment, and lawful individualized care before poorly constructed policies become entrenched or replicated across states.

Make Telemedicine Permanent

Temporary regulatory extensions are not a sustainable foundation for modern healthcare. Patients should not have to wonder whether they will continue to have access to their provider. Providers need predictable rules for responsible telemedicine practice. And healthcare organizations should not have to build critical national healthcare infrastructure around temporary regulatory exceptions.

PHA supports a durable, responsible federal framework for telemedicine prescribing, one that protects patients while preserving workable access to physician-directed care.

The Healthcare Ecosystem Matters

Modern telemedicine depends on more than technology. It depends on patients, providers, provider networks, telehealth platforms, pharmacies, and other healthcare infrastructure working together responsibly.

That includes responsible 503A compounding pharmacies when a provider determines that a patient-specific compounded prescription is clinically appropriate.

PHA supports strong quality and patient-protection standards while preserving lawful access to responsible, individualized care.

How We Work

Convene. Act. Implement.

PHA is built to do more than advocate for change. We bring together the people affected by healthcare policy, act when policy or regulation needs to evolve, and help move progress toward practical implementation.

Convene

We bring together patients, providers, researchers, policymakers, regulators, telehealth leaders, responsible pharmacies, and other healthcare stakeholders.

Act

We engage Congress, federal agencies, state legislatures, medical and pharmacy boards, and other decision-makers with evidence, expert perspective, education, and coordinated advocacy.

Implement

Policy change is only meaningful if it works in practice. PHA helps translate progress into durable frameworks that support responsible patient access and individualized care.
