About the Series
The Alliance for Health Policy’s annual Signature Series addresses the most challenging issues in health policy by convening cross-sector dialogues with experts in both policy and practice. Together, we critically examine these issues to identify what’s at stake, as well as areas of challenge and opportunity.
We actively listen to our community of policymakers and public health leaders to discover the issues they find most pressing.
Each year as part of the Series, the Alliance leverages our extensive network of experts and leaders to gather the best and brightest minds from across the health care industry. We challenge them to examine current barriers, highlight promising opportunities, and curate new ideas and approaches to tackle these topics. The resulting events take a unique look at intractable and emerging issues.

Aging in America
This year, the Signature Series focuses on the profound challenges and opportunities of Aging in America. As the American aging population continues to grow, the need for effective health care solutions, policies, and support systems for older adults has never been more urgent. With an increasing number of seniors, there are critical questions surrounding access to care and the future of aging services. Our Signature Series brings together leading experts to explore the complex landscape of aging, from health care delivery to policy decisions, and the implications for legislation that will shape the future of aging in America. Through the Alliance’s unique model of diverse dialogue and evidence-based discourse, we will explore how an aging population is reshaping health care—from patient care and delivery to policy actions that inform legislation and decision-making.
Signature Series Elements
The Signature Series represents both phases of the Alliance’s two-step program lifecycle:
“Incubate,” which consists of insight development, strategy workshops and reports to inform educational programming, and
“Educate,” where the Alliance hosts educational curriculum to prepare legislative staff and the broader policy community on the building blocks and emerging issues in health policy.
Each event throughout the year is designed to build on the insights gathered from previous activities, creating a dynamic, continuous learning experience. Our programs integrate diverse viewpoints, ensuring a comprehensive approach to each topic. The framework facilitates not only education but also the incubation of ideas, allowing for deeper exploration and actionable solutions.
Alongside these events, the Alliance maintains an ongoing, iterative process of engagement with frontline experts, academics, and stakeholders through focus group sessions, office hours, and other facilitated discussions. This ensures that the latest insights are continuously incorporated into the evolving framework.

Aging is an undeniable element in American life and a force to be reckoned with in health policy. Americans are experiencing longer lifespans, with the population of those aged 65 and older expected to increase by 47% by 20501, constituting nearly a quarter of the total population. While this increase in life expectancy is a significant accomplishment, representing the promise of scientific and public health learnings realized, it also underscores the urgent need for infrastructure and financial and social resources to meet the demands of an aging population. Today’s aging population is diverse and active– with more than 20% of people over 65 employed– and has complex health and financial needs. Nearly three-quarters will need assistance from a caregiver. With 98% of Americans over 65 covered by Medicare, and 12 million seniors benefiting from Medicaid coverage, the impact of aging on health policy is fundamental. This year, the Alliance for Health Policy’s annual Signature Series will explore how to best support an aging population through health care and policy measures, bringing together experts to explore key strategic questions, including “What would an aging equipped health system look like? And “What does congressional staff need to know about aging?”.
