The U.S. Women's Health Alliance believes that an affordable, high-quality healthcare system starts with thriving private practices. We work to strengthen these practices through advocacy, education, and legislation by promoting accountability, fair reimbursement, and value-driven care.

Our Goals

Lead the way in defining and delivering solutions for high-quality, affordable healthcare for all women.

Create change that physicians experience meaningfully in their day-to-day practice.

Help patients understand the drivers of rising healthcare costs—and how they can be part of the solution.

Educate lawmakers on the vital role of private practices and the policies needed to help them grow.

Our Advocacy Priorities

We focus on four key areas to protect and advance physician-led, private practice women's healthcare:

Hospital Competition & Commercial Reasonableness

Advocate for the enforcement of commercially reasonable standards in physician employment and practice acquisitions, ensuring hospitals and health systems do not monopolize care at the expense of affordability or access.

Tort Reform & Corporate Practice of Medicine

Support malpractice liability reform and defend the physician–organization relationship from inappropriate application of corporate control standards that undermine clinical autonomy.

Physician Payment Reform

Push for value-based payment models that link fee-for-service (FFS) reimbursements to quality outcomes, not just volume of care.

Workforce Development & Loan Forgiveness

Champion access to tuition loan forgiveness programs to help private practices attract and retain top physician talent.

Our work in advocacy not only impacts obstetrician-gynecologists, but all private practice specialties that would benefit from a more even playing field to compete in. We are proud to work with other mission-minded and aligned organizations that believe private practice is a cornerstone of exceptional healthcare.

Through our work on Capitol Hill as well as educating our Member Groups on how they individually and collectively can make a difference, USWHA is making great strides to help private practices thrive.
