Written by CPPC Policy Team | Jul 7, 2026 7:43:27 PM

As healthcare policy discussions continue to evolve across the country, the Coalition to Protect Patient Care (CPPC) has expanded its advocacy efforts into five additional states. The expansion reflects the growing need for evidence-based policy discussions surrounding patient access to innovative medical technologies.

CPPC works directly with policymakers, healthcare professionals, patient advocates, and industry experts to provide factual, research-driven information that supports informed legislative decision-making.

Supporting State Policymakers

Every state faces unique healthcare challenges, but many policy questions share common themes. By expanding its presence, CPPC can provide lawmakers with timely resources and objective analysis as legislation affecting medical technology is considered.

The coalition's work focuses on:

  • Providing evidence-based policy resources.
  • Supporting patient access to innovative technologies.
  • Sharing clinical and economic research.
  • Encouraging transparent stakeholder engagement.

Why State Engagement Matters

Many healthcare decisions are increasingly being made at the state level. As legislatures consider new proposals affecting diagnostics, medical devices, and patient access, timely information becomes essential.

CPPC's growing network allows the organization to respond quickly to emerging legislation while maintaining its commitment to science-driven policy recommendations.

Looking Ahead

The coalition expects additional opportunities for collaboration throughout the coming year. By strengthening relationships with state leaders and healthcare organizations, CPPC aims to support policies that improve patient outcomes while encouraging continued innovation within the medical technology sector.

Future updates will highlight developments from each participating state as new legislation is introduced and reviewed.
