About the West Health-Gallup Center on Healthcare in America
The Center on Healthcare in America is a joint initiative from West Health and Gallup. Together, we share a mission to elevate the voices and lived experiences of Americans within the healthcare system.
Through rigorous research and human-centered storytelling, we bring greater visibility to how people engage with and are impacted by the care they receive.
Gallup contributes world-class expertise in public opinion research and analytics. West Health brings a deep knowledge of healthcare and aging research. Together, we've created a trusted, objective platform that provides decision-makers with actionable, evidence-based insights to shape a more people-centered system.
