2010 Annual Report    (File size 1000.0 KB)

Altarum Institute enjoyed an extremely rewarding year in 2010. In 2010 we marked the successful completion of a 5-year strategic plan that transitioned us from a portfolio of diverse activities to an institute focused exclusively on issues of health and health care. From 2005 to 2010, the Institute experienced extraordinary growth in both its financial strength and technical depth, ensuring that we can plan our future with confidence and bold vision. We also made great strides in demonstrating the unique nature of our business model - a nonprofit research and consulting organization with a thriving consulting business and a robust, internally chartered research and demonstration agenda. We take great pride in this model and believe others in the nonprofit research and philanthropic sectors are paying careful attention to our experience and success.

2003 Annual Report    (File size 231.0 KB)

Three years ago, with more than 50 years of successful history, Altarum set out on a path of re-invention. Our name comes from the Latin altus, which conveys a sense of vertical dimension -- from the depths to the heights. So for us, the opportunity was to build off our deep roots in pioneering scientific research and to accelerate technical innovation that enables technology to serve society. What a difference three years make! With this first Altarum Annual Report we begin to tell the story of how the work we do has a positive impact on our customers and, through them, society.
