Patients First: Building a Movement to Change Healthcare
Power2Patients Virtual Launch Event
Monday, December 7, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 p.m. ET | Virtual
Healthcare should work for patients. Too often, it doesn’t. Join us for a conversation about what’s missing from healthcare reform—and how we can change that together.
It’s Time to Put Patients First
Millions of Americans continue to struggle with unaffordable medical bills, delays and denials of needed care, and a healthcare system that is increasingly difficult to navigate.
What’s been missing? A strong, organized patient voice with the power to demand meaningful change.
Power2Patients is building a national movement to change that. We’re bringing together patients and healthcare professionals to put patients at the center of healthcare policy and decision-making.
But what will it take to turn this vision into reality?
Join Power2Patients and national healthcare leaders for a candid conversation about why previous reform efforts have fallen short, what must change, and how we can build a national movement that gives patients a stronger voice in shaping American healthcare.
What We’ll Discuss
During this one-hour virtual event, our healthcare leaders will explore:
- Why healthcare needs a stronger patient voice. Despite decades of reform efforts, patients continue to face rising costs, barriers to care, and a system that too often prioritizes institutional interests over patient needs. What’s been missing, and why is now the time for a patient-centered movement?
- Who we are and what we’re building. Learn about Power2Patients and Fight4Patients, our vision for a healthcare system that puts patients first, and our plans to bring together patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to drive meaningful change.
- The issues we’re taking on. Hear about our priorities, including improving access to care, reducing costs and medical debt, increasing transparency, strengthening primary care and care coordination, and giving patients a greater voice in healthcare decisions.
- Our first campaign: Combating harmful care denials and delays. We’ll take a closer look at how insurance barriers, prior authorization requirements, and delayed or denied care affect patients and clinicians—and discuss how we plan to tackle these problems through patient advocacy, greater accountability, and policy reform.
- How you can help shape the movement. Discover how patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and advocates can share their experiences, help shape our priorities, and join the effort to make healthcare work better for everyone.
Join Our Healthcare Leaders
The discussion will feature: Don Berwick | Sachin Jain | Scott Armstrong | Archelle Georgiou. Moderated by Clif Gaus, with participation from additional Power2Patients advisors. Drawing on decades of healthcare leadership, as well as personal experiences as patients and caregivers, these leaders will share their perspectives on why change is needed and what it will take to achieve it.
Be Part of the Change
This is more than a conversation about the challenges facing American healthcare. It’s a call to action to help build something different.
Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, healthcare professional, advocate, or simply someone who believes healthcare should put people first, your perspective matters.
Real change starts when patients and their allies come together. We hope you’ll join us.
