In 16 communities throughout the country, Aligning Forces for Quality seeks to lift the quality of health and health care by teaming up with those who get care, give care and pay for care. Explore what our communities are doing to improve health care quality.
AF4Q National Program Office
The Aligning Forces for Quality national program office (NPO) oversees and directs assistance to the communities participating in the initiative.

The NPO helps the Foundation monitor and manage the initiative and is responsible for fostering communication and collaboration to support the community teams and their work.
Katherine Browne, M.B.A, M.H.A, serves as the interim director/chief operating officer of the NPO. The NPO is located within the Department of Health Policy at The George Washington University School of Public Health and Health Services.
