The Institute of Medicine advises Congress on the most important health questions of our time – from AIDS to breast cancer, from emergency services to the quality of medical care, and from vaccine safety to childhood obesity. Since 1970, when the IOM was established as part of the Congressionally chartered National Academy of Sciences, its recommendations have shaped health policies to improve the lives of millions of people around the world.
The 2007 Congressional Guide to the IOM provides a sampling of recent IOM studies and contact information for subject matter experts on our staff. We are available to brief Members of Congress and Congressional staff about key health issues addressed in IOM studies. To receive more information about a study or to request a briefing, please contact Jim Jensen, Director of the Office of Congressional and Government Affairs, at 202-334-1601 or jjensen@nas.edu.
For more information about IOM communications activities or materials, please contact Bethany Hardy, Director of Communications, at 202-334-2258, or bhardy@nas.edu.
