Organizations across the nation break down barriers firmly entrenched in our health care system. With boundless passion and limited resources, they increase access to care, implement innovative ways to deliver high quality care at affordable prices, and, day in and day out, fight to keep Americans healthy.

During these chats, we will highlight one of these Change Agents and the exciting work they are doing to create a better health system for us all.
