EACH/PIC Coalition

About PIC

The Patient Inclusion Council (PIC) is led by patients and caregivers, as well as patient organizations and allied groups who regularly engage with the patient community. We aim to empower patients and caregivers to shape healthcare policy through peer-led education, perspective sharing, and activities to ensure patient-reported needs are incorporated into drug affordability solutions. The PIC operates both independently and in conjunction with the EACH Coalition.

PIC Coalition Members

PIC members are patients and caregivers who are interested in learning about government drug affordability efforts and possibly getting involved by helping share their experiences and perspectives regarding drug costs and access issues. The PIC is led by peers (fellow patients and caregivers), with guidance provided by EACH members (patient organizations and allied groups) who are also actively involved with patients and caregivers.
