The cost of the country’s opioid crisis is estimated to have exceeded $1 trillion from 2001 to 2017, and is projected to cost an additional $500 billion by 2020, according to analysis released by Altarum, a nonprofit health research and consulting institute.

Altarum experts use their deep experience in Title V and Medicaid to offer breakthrough ideas for enhanced collaboration between Title V MCH Block Grant and Medicaid.

The program supports states and non-profit organizations as they build integrated maternal and early childhood comprehensive systems of care that are equitable, sustainable, and inclusive of the health system.

Altarum will lead a three-year project to reduce the number of heart attacks and strokes in Michigan by helping rural primary care providers integrate and implement the best available evidence and treatment for hypertension and smoking cessation.

HRSA's Maternal and Child Health Bureau has enlisted Altarum in a five-year project to support the Bureau's research and workforce training programs, including grantees from universities and affiliated MCH research, service, and other learning institutions.

Altarum is expanding the reach of the Bureau of Justice Assistance's (BJA) Peer Recovery Support Services (PRSS) Training and Technical Assistance Center, a critical resource to criminal justice and social services organizations across the nation.

Not-for-profit, standards development organizations HL7 International awarded Altarum a contract extension to provide program leadership of their Helios FHIR (Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources) Accelerator for Public Health.
