THE ALLIANCE

The Alliance for Better Health Access is working, state by state, to reduce health care inequality and ensure all patients receive the high-quality health care they deserve, delivered by the provider of their choice. We believe that providing patients with full and direct access to the care that nurse practitioners (NPs) provide is central to meeting the existing and future health care needs of our nation.
