WELCOME
The Center for Advancing Health works to increase people's engagement in their health care. We listen to patient perspectives. We translate what we learn into resources that help all of us participate fully in our health care and that enable policy makers and clinicians to support our efforts.
CFAH was a non-profit organization founded in 1992, supported by individuals and foundations and based in Washington, D.C. until its closing in December 2014.* More
