State Health Policy Leadership

The Milbank Memorial Fund is committed to improving the ability of state health policymakers to make informed decisions that enhance the health of the populations they serve.

The Milbank Memorial Fund aims to identify, inform, and inspire current and future state health policy leaders to enhance their effectiveness in advancing health and health equity. We produce publications that highlight best practices in specific areas of population health; what factors inspire leaders in their state service; and how leaders have achieved a policy or practice change to improve health. The Fund also hosts convenings and offers leadership support. Learn more by exploring overviews of the Milbank State Leadership Network, a bipartisan group of state health policy leaders from both the executive and legislative branches, and our leadership development programs, The Milbank Fellows Program and the Emerging Leaders Program.
