Forums on health and health care issues for New Jersey policy-makers

The purpose of this project is to continue the work of the New Jersey Capitol Forums program, which has been holding forums designed to improve the health policy environment in New Jersey since 1992. This program hosts seminars on selected health policy topics four to six times a year. Key participants from various public and private agencies in New Jersey are invited to review an issue brief and then spend a half-day listening to expert speakers and discussing how the issue affects health and/or health care in New Jersey. The forums are sponsored by The Forums Institute for Public Policy.
