The Health Policy Institute of Ohio is a nonprofit organization based in Columbus, founded in 2003 by a group of health foundations to provide independent, nonpartisan health policy analysis. It serves as a trusted resource for state policymakers and other stakeholders by delivering objective research, analysis, and data presentation on a broad set of health policy issues, including the social drivers of health. The institute does not advocate for specific legislation, but focuses on translating complex health policy information to support evidence-informed decision making. It is Ohio’s only nonpartisan organization dedicated solely to informing state health policy decisions, emphasizing its independence from any particular sector. The institute aims to contribute to health policy that improves value and well-being, with a vision of Ohio as a model of health, well-being and economic vitality. As a small to mid-sized nonprofit, HPIO relies on a knowledgeable staff to provide credible research and analysis for policymakers and other key stakeholders.
