CHIME Public Policy gives healthcare organizations a powerful platform to engage with the issues shaping the future of digital health. Through sponsorship, organizations can align their brand with CHIME’s advocacy efforts, connect with influential healthcare leaders, and demonstrate their commitment to advancing policies that strengthen healthcare innovation, cybersecurity, patient access, and digital transformation. CHIME’s approach also creates opportunities for sponsor visibility around policy-focused programming and approved networking experiences.
