Who We Are
The National Alliance is the only nonprofit, purchaser-aligned coalition with a national and
regional reach. The breadth and diversity of our talent pool across the coalition network
aligns to amplify the collective voice of the employer/purchaser and accelerate
improvements in health, equity and value across the country.
Our strategic focus
Beginning in 2025, the National Alliance will focus on achieving its updated mission and vision through these strategic priorities.
Achieving affordable, high-quality, equitable healthcare
Working with and through purchaser coalitions, we help employers and purchasers deliver affordable, high-quality, equitable healthcare for employees and their families. The National Alliance and its member coalitions do this by driving transparent, fair, and competitive markets; effective purchasing; and meaningful policy changes at federal, state, and local levels.
