All medical centers are invited to join the High Value Practice Alliance. The success of the organization hinges on participation by a large number of health care delivery systems that represent the breadth of care delivery across the country. Our organization was founded by 100 academic center partners, and after 5 years of operation to build a network and develop educational programs, membership is opening to any medical center in the US (and beyond) in January 2023.
