Angels for Change Convenes First Ever SummitONE ...

New from Angels for Change: the launch of our Policy Lab.

The A4C Policy Lab brings together patients, clinicians, policymakers, and industry leaders to turn frontline experience into actionable policy solutions that address drug shortages at their root.

Last week on January 29th, 2026, Angels for Change convened a sold-out National Policy Lab on Capitol Hill in the historic Kennedy Caucus Room to tackle one of the most urgent issues in healthcare: the U.S. drug shortage crisis.

Angels for Change is translating patient harm into real-world policy solutions. This Policy Lab wasn’t a conference — it was a working session focused on collaboration, candor, and outcomes, with patients at the center of every solution.

"This is a patient problem," said Bray. "This is a national problem. This is a global problem. The supply chain is very brittle. It breaks every day and there is no extra. And then what happens is, patients are prioritized, and some people get it and some people don't. And it's not always clear why."
