Local healthcare executives and board members as well as public policymakers recognize the Health Policy Institute (HPI) as a reliable regional resource dedicated to improved healthcare decision making. Founded in 1980 through a collaboration of the University of Pittsburgh, the Allegheny Conference on Community Development, and six Pittsburgh based foundations. HPI founders concluded that health care was not only vital to the health status of the Pittsburgh region's population, but increasingly important to the region's continued economic development. HPI's Governance Briefings, analytical and educational activities, and publications and presentations help improve management and governance decisions. These are HPI's current funders:
