The School of Public Health at Brown University in Providence, R.I., has launched a center to address healthcare spending.
The Center for Advancing Health Policy Through Research officially began at the start of the 2023-24 academic year, according to an Oct. 10 news release. It will be led by Director Andrew Ryan, PhD, a professor of health services, policy and practice.
The center will aim to conduct research on issues of healthcare spending, including Medicare Advantage and private equity, and then use that research to influence health policy at both the national and state level, the release said.
