Material Link: The Kaiser Family Foundation

Founded in 1948, the Kaiser Family Foundation (Menlo Park, CA) focuses on major healthcare issues in the US and, to a lesser extent, the world. Over the years, it has become a must-read for healthcare devotees and a quality non-partisan source for up-to-date and accurate information on health policy. The Foundation regularly releases facts, polls, and analyses that are in turn used by the media, policymakers, the healthcare community, and the general public. Specific research programs include disparities policy, global health policy, health costs, health reform, HIV/AIDS, Medicaid, Medicare, private insurance, the uninsured, and women’s health policy. Despite an original association, the Foundation is no longer affiliated with Kaiser Permanente or Kaiser Industries.
