Advancing Health Missions
Altarum turns policy into practice. Rooted in public-sector innovation since 1946, we work with federal agencies, states, tribes, and community partners to improve health for all.
On this page you can explore the Altarum's work; read highlights from our 2025 Impact Report or search nearly 100 case studies, projects, and publications to see how we help partners design programs, build the systems behind them, reach the people they serve, and measure what works.
Impact Report
Altarum's 2025 Impact Report shows how integrated research and analysis, technical assistance, digital solutions, and tailored communications produce measurable results for the people and programs we serve. It features work with partners such as the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, Maine's Department of Health and Human Services, the National Institute on Aging, and NIH's All of Us program, reaching Veterans and military families, children, older adults, individuals living with disabilities, and people with limited access to care. The report reflects our goal to meaningfully improve the lives of more than 100 million people.
In Michigan, Altarum surveyed more than 3,500 Veterans to build a roadmap for Veteran-Friendly Communities with the Michigan Veterans Affairs Agency, helping approximately 562,000 Michigan Veterans receive better support. Through the Center for Maternal and Child Health Medicaid Partnerships, our work supports programs that serve 36.8 million children.
