Aimed Alliance

Judicial Advocacy

Aimed Alliance's Judicial Advocacy Working Group serves as a convening space for advocacy organizations that want to better understand and engage in judicial advocacy to protect and expand health care access and coverage. The working group consists of a legal advisory group and a patient advisory group. Led by Aimed Alliance, these working groups will collaborate to identify opportunities for legal and judicial advocacy to ensure the consumer perspective is better represented across all areas of law, including litigation, policy, and regulations.
