To celebrate 30 years of developing a cadre of leaders in health policy and healthcare delivery systems, there were year-long programs and activities to reflect the Fellowship's work in preparing physician leaders, supporting alumni work, and strengthening the alumni network. ## Program Book The Celebration Day, the culmination of the 30th anniversary, occurred in May 2026 in conjunction with the Health Policy Annual Meeting. Healthcare experts/leaders, fellowship advisory committee members/contributors, alumni fellows, partners, and affinity groups across different sectors came together to celebrate Fellowship achievements as well as to set future directions.
