As 2011 begins, Altarum Institute counts the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as its largest client partner, with the Department of Defense Military Health System and the Department of Veterans Affairs close behind. To every extent we are able, we will continue to advance our mission through the important work of these and the other federal, state, and local government agencies that constitute our core market. We will also expand the work we do "outside" our core market – namely in the novel research, demonstration, and education initiatives we believe are defining the leading edge of transformation in the fields of health and health care. Just as our predecessors did, we look to the future with confidence in our mission and our ability to serve the public good by improving human health.

"We never lost our commitment to advancing the state of scientific research. ERIM was chartered in Michigan to focus on research and technology to secure the nation from external threats. Today, Altarum applies that heritage in defense systems research to meet systemic challenges in health care. The staff should be very proud that, each step of the way, it has improved the wellbeing of the nation, created economic value, and helped build an outstanding technical workforce."
