About Us

We are leaders, innovators, catalyzers for change, and subject matter experts who agree that deeper collaboration will expedite access to quality pain care. The participants represent people with lived experience, caregivers, health care providers and administrators, employers, health systems, public and private payors, industry, academia, and government. 

We uniquely connect key stakeholders and experts involved in comprehensive pain care so they can learn from and inspire one another. We identify gaps in our shared work, develop resources collectively, nurture deeper collaborations, and promote innovation and progress. We purposefully bring together diverse perspectives and take the time to discuss important topics and action steps that will expedite access to whole health, value-based care for all.

We are aligned in beliefs that every human should have access to a whole health, biopsychosocial model of care, that Diversity Equity Inclusion (DEI) efforts lead to improved patient care, and that strategic collaboration is necessary to integrate equitable, evidence-based, non-pharmacological solutions into quality pain care..
