MISSION STATEMENT
MISSION STATEMENT
The Chronic Illness Advocacy & Awareness Group, Inc. (CIAAG) is a national non-profit organization focused Public-Private-Partnership initiatives within the Healthcare Sector. The healthcare system is changing rapidly in response to societal and political pressures. The United States has invested billions into the restructuring of the healthcare system with a large investment into Public-Private-Partnerships to help create and implement strategies that will help solve the nation's most complex public health issues and concerns. As the nation moves forward with new innovative treatments and technologies we must ensure patient rights and civil liberties are preserved.
CIAAG acts as a liaison between the public, lawmakers and other stakeholders to facilitate productive discussion and provide recommendations to address the knowledge gaps and inconsistencies within the Public-Private-Partnerships that are influencing access to care and healthcare as a whole in America.
We consult with the public and private sector, providing both professional expertise and lived experience, regarding the issues presented by the use of Public-Private-Partnerships to develop solutions to complex societal problems via the use of pragmatic trials and the biopsychosocial approach to managing population health.
