Health Policy Institute of Ohio

Translate. Connect. Navigate.

The Health Policy Institute of Ohio’s (HPIO) mission is to advance evidence-informed policies that improve health, achieve equity, and lead to sustainable healthcare spending in Ohio. HPIO is an independent, nonpartisan organization dedicated to informing state and local health policy decisions. HPIO translates complex data into actionable policy insights, connects diverse perspectives to inform policy decisions and offers expertise to navigate the changing policy environment.

Federal, state and local public policy play an instrumental role in achieving health value. Policy change, as a complement to health programs and services, is a key lever to impacting healthcare spending and health outcomes.

HPIO’s work focuses on public policy decisions that can lead to improved health value. The Institute’s primary audience is public policymakers at the state and local level.

For many years HPIO’s work has centered on all of the factors that influence health, including racism and discrimination, community conditions, healthcare access and services, public health and prevention and collaboration among sectors.
