We Are the Patients Action Network

About Us

The Patients Action Network was formed in 2004 to unite patient advocates who share a common goal: increase access to care. Today, the Patients Action Network is comprised of millions of advocates from across the country who are committed to advancing policy solutions that strengthen the patient-physician relationship, eliminate barriers to treatment, and expand access to care.

Our Mission

We’re committed to advancing public policies that make health care more accessible to all patients. Through grassroots advocacy, our members collaborate with legislators and medical professionals to drive progress on critical issues such as Medicare physician payment reform, prior authorization, and drug price transparency.
