About the Health Division
The NGA Center for Best Practices Health Division provides governors and their staff with policy analysis
and information, customized technical assistance, best practices, and insight into emerging health care
issues. The Health Division focuses on helping governors develop policy and support implementation in
six core issue areas: health system transformation; Medicaid and private health insurance; workforce;
public health; data and analytics; and behavioral health and the social determinants of health.
Examples of specific projects underway within the division include:
? Connecting States through a Bipartisan Learning Network on Health Reform
? Transforming State Health Systems to Improve Quality and Efficiency Focused on High-Needs,
High-Cost Population
? Negotiating New, Broad Medicaid Authorities for States
? Addressing Opioid Use Disorder and Overdose Deaths

The Health Division offers a variety of learning and networking opportunities for states, which promote
peer exchange for governors and their staff. Health Division staff facilitate this through:
? Policy Academies: The Health Division convenes state teams for an intensive, 12-month to***
month process that supports in-depth policy exploration and provides technical assistance on
specific health care challenges (for example, reducing cost and improving the outcomes of highneeds,
high-cost patients and better integrating a state’s public health system with its health
care delivery system). States are selected on the basis of a competitive application and benefit
from peer-to-peer-learning and subject matter expertise.
? Experts Roundtables: The Health Division hosts forums on a variety of relevant health care
topics throughout the year. NGA funds governors’ staff to attend the forums, which are an
opportunity for staff to meet their counterparts from other states, discuss common challenges
and promising solutions, and hear from nationally recognized subject matter experts.
? In-State Retreats: The Health Division convenes in-state retreats one to three days in length to
address state-specific issues such as developing a strategic framework for transforming state
health systems and health care workforce planning. At the retreat, key stakeholders meet with
national and regional experts to identify challenges and opportunities within the state, as well
as develop a strategic plan and develop recommendations to meet a state’s needs. The Health
Division also provides in-depth policy analysis and technical assistance as requested by the
state.
? Learning Labs: The Health Division brings small cohorts of states to learn directly from an
innovator state about a successful, evidence-based intervention. Learning Labs also facilitate
adoption and evaluation of the innovative practices among participating states.
? Governors’ Leadership Calls: The Health Division regularly holds webinars for all states on hot
topics within health care.
Health Division staff have decades of experience working in health policy and operations in state
government, federal government, and the private sector. They serve as a resource for governors’ health
advisors by providing tailored technical assistance, advice from or connections to other states, and
access to outside experts to help a governor’s office achieve its goals.
The Health Division develops and maintains a variety of resources on state health care issues, including
a listserv for governors’ health policy advisors, in-depth research documents, and information in
response to ad hoc requests for information from states. Additional resources include:
? Road Maps: The Health Division provides detailed state road maps that guide state leaders in
implementing cutting edge policy solutions based on expert consultation and evidence-based
best practices.
