Henry J Kaiser Family Foundation
SEE SCHEDULE O.KFF FILLS THE NEED FOR TRUSTED, INDEPENDENT INFORMATION ON NATIONAL HEALTH ISSUES THROUGH POLICY ANALYSIS, POLLING & SURVEY RESEARCH, AND JOURNALISM. THE HALLMARK OF KFF IS OUR FOCUS ON HOW POLICY AFFECTS PEOPLE. WE BELIEVE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF EVIDENCE, INFORMATION AND FACTS. WE PROVIDE A VOICE FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T ALWAYS HAVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE. WE NEVER TRY TO ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR POLICY, OR TAKE POSITIONS OR ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES OR PROGRAMS. WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT DEBATE IS INFORMED BY CREDIBLE AND TIMELY INFORMATION - WHETHER IT'S A POLICY ANALYSIS, A POLL, OR A KFF HEALTH NEWS STORY OR INVESTIGATION.
