- Website
Kaiser Health News (KHN) is a nonprofit news service committed to in-depth coverage of health care policy and politics. And we report on how the health care system — hospitals, doctors, nurses, insurers, governments, consumers — works.
In addition to this website, our stories are published by news organizations throughout the country. Our site also features daily summaries of major health care news.
We also produce the website and newsletters for California Healthline, a service of the California Health Care Foundation.
KHN is an editorially independent program of the Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in San Francisco, Calif., that is dedicated to filling the need for trusted information on national health issues. Foundation President and CEO Drew Altman is KHN’s Founding Publisher and wrote this message about KHN when we launched in 2009. KFF’s Executive Director of Media and Technology David Rousseau is KHN’s Publisher.
