The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation

For more than 35 years the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation has brought experience, commitment and a rigorous, balanced approach to the problems that affect the health and health care of those we serve. We leverage our reputation to bring people together, share our body of knowledge to spark discussion and debate, and build common ground in addressing some of the most pressing health and health care problems facing our country.

When it comes to helping Americans lead healthier lives and get the care they need, we expect to make a difference in your lifetime.
