Health Policy in 2026: What Comes Next?
Following a tumultuous year in health policy, GIH will continue to keep funders up to speed on legislative and administrative changes that will affect health access and impact health disparities. In this timely webinar, experts from Leavitt Partners will provide an overview of what to expect from Congress and the administration in 2026 leading up to the midterm elections, focusing on key legislative priorities and executive actions to help funders navigate and engage on these changes. Speakers include Laura Pence and Sara Singleton from Leavitt Partners.
In 2025, Grantmakers In Health launched a new collaboration with Leavitt Partners for health policy monitoring services related to GIH strategic priorities, which includes regular webinars on timely policy topics.
