updates.“Effective and lasting solutions and policy approaches require a diversity of ideas and the ability of we, the people, to consider and critically examine them. I am very excited that the Paragon Institute can become a beacon of new ideas and approaches towards improving the health of our population (and our badly broken health ‘system’).”John J. DreyzehnerDirector of the CDC Center for Preparedness and Response (2019-2021), Commissioner of Tennessee’s Department of Health (2011-2019), District Director of the Virginia Department of Health (2002-2011)“The increasingly diverse health care needs of Americans clearly cannot be met by a government-centered system. A vibrant and dynamic market with empowered consumers can bring the best value to everyone.”Ge BaiProfessor of Accounting at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School and Health Policy & Management at Bloomberg School of Public Health“This exciting effort convenes a broad range of health care leaders to think big and bold about how we can improve the delivery of care.”Marty MakaryProfessor, John Hopkins University School of Medicine and Carey School; author of The Price We Pay & Unaccountable; editor-in-chief of Medpage Today“I am excited to join Paragon to develop policies that address thebiggest challenges in health care by empoweringpatients to drive their care, as well as harnessing competition andinnovation to increase access and improve quality.”Demetrios L. KouzoukasDirector of Paragon’s Medicare Reform Initiative“At a time during which sound health policy debate is largely absent in DC, Paragon is just the right antidote to introduce practical policy recommendations based on rigorous research. The post-Covid era will require a renewed focus on policies addressing health care costs, access, quality, and innovation. Paragon will capably inform these policies. I am honored to be part of the team.”Paul MangoDeputy Chief of Staff to HHS Sec. Azar (2019-2021), formal liaison to Operation Warp Speed“Medical innovation is the key to improving health and enhancing life. I’m advising Paragon because their leadership team and experts are dedicated to developing policy reforms that encourage, rather than stifle, innovation.”Tomas PhilipsonChairman of the White House Council of Economic Advisers (2019-2020), Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago“US government health programs exhibit unsustainable cost growth, are poorly targeted, exacerbate healthcare cost inflation, and desperately need reforms.  Paragon’s scholars have the government experience to understand the problems, and to develop sensible policies to address them.”Chuck BlahousJ. Fish and Lillian F. Smith Chair at the Mercatus CenterHealth Care Is About People, Not PoliticsParagon Health Institute is a new health research institute devoted to policy solutions that work for the people who matter most: patients./*! elementor - v3.6.6 - 08-06-2022 */.elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=".svg"]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}Meet Our PeopleThe Paragon team represents experience, ideas, and unique talent for finding efficient and effective solutions in the health care space.Get our UpdatesParagon has set our priorities around the most pressing challenges facing the American health care system and the people it serves.NEW BOOKDon't Wait for WashingtonParagon’s President Brian Blase, along with eight other health policy experts, offers a field guide for state policymakers and legislators to solve many of our major health care challenges.Download or order our book or watch a series of interviews to get started.GET THE BOOKWe are on FacebookPosting regular quotes, tidbits, and need-to-know updates in the world of health policy.Follow us now Stay InformedNo spam, just real news and information that you need.Sign Up nowHealth Policy Solutions Americans Can Trust© Paragon Health Institute 2022.
