We draw upon two decades of experience working with Congress and federal agencies to deliver policy guidance, intelligence and advocacy to a wide-array of innovative health care organizations.
Our clients are at the forefront of today’s transformation in health care and rely on us to help them understand and influence federal policy decisions affecting coverage, access, payment, and care delivery changes.
We embed ourselves at each client organization, serving as a daily, real-time source of intelligence and advocacy while harnessing the collaborative power of stakeholders across the healthcare industry.
Our personalized approach, combined with a full-time Washington presence, fills the gap that often exists between the services provided by national trade organizations and in-house government relations departments.

Dozens of students from across the United States have participated in WSC’s internship program gaining hands-on, real-world experience in the nation’s capitol.
Our interns are mentored by each member of the WSC team and spend their days on substantive projects designed to enhance their knowledge about how the federal government operates and the importance of issue advocacy.
Attending hearings and meeting on Capitol Hill, assisting with the organizing of conferences and events, and drafting policy papers and articles are a few of the everyday tasks WSC interns undertake.
WSC recruits students from the Washington Center, the largest independent, nonprofit academic internship program in the country.
WSC is extremely proud that we are consistently ranked as one the most popular internship sites in Washington, DC. WSC intern alumni have gone on to impressive careers inside and outside of government in a wide range of fields.

“WSC offers a unique, hands-on, internship opportunity unlike any other program in Washington. The interns are exposed to a wide variety of government affairs from Congressional Hearings to lobbying activities, which affords an excellent learning experience. The WSC team treated me as an important member of their staff and I was not expected to only perform ‘administrative’ work. I contributed to a variety of projects, including everything from grant work to policy research. The WSC internship was by far the most educational internship experience I have had and has enabled me to find direction for my future career path.”
