Health

Public health in the U.S. increasingly faces overlapping challenges, including emerging infectious threats, rising chronic disease, and behavioral health needs. Abt partners with federal, state, and local agencies to strengthen public and private health systems that protect lives and support national health security.

Our work spans substance use, behavioral health, infectious disease surveillance, laboratory systems strengthening, and chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. We support the full continuum, from early detection and prevention to treatment, recovery, and long-term management.

We deliver secure, scalable solutions that modernize data systems, improve analytic readiness, and turn evidence into timely, actionable decisions across public health systems.

Abt delivers vital research, technology solutions, and implementation support to strengthen private and public systems that improve health and well-being across the United States. We help federal and state partners design, implement, and evaluate programs that expand access and improve quality. We pair deep policy and data expertise with advanced analytics, business intelligence tools, and human-in-the-loop AI. 

As a long-time partner to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), we support high-performing Medicaid, Medicare, and CHIP programs through rigorous measurement, rapid-cycle learning, and practical technical assistance that builds lasting capacity for sustained impact.

Abt advances global health to protect lives, prevent outbreaks, and build sustainable systems that safeguard Americans and their global partners. Across 60+ countries, we have delivered measurable results: improved health outcomes, strengthened systems, and transitions from U.S. assistance to local ownership. 

From pandemic preparedness and disease surveillance to TB, malaria, HIV, and health financing reform, our teams integrate local expertise with data-driven solutions. We help clients and countries deliver care efficiently, invest in health workforce and supply chains, and make smart use of public and private resources. Our work supports U.S. foreign policy priorities by creating safer, more stable, and self-reliant communities worldwide.

Military readiness and veteran well-being depend on evidence, trusted data, and systems that perform under real-world constraints. Abt partners with defense, veterans, and public-sector clients to strengthen care delivery and operational decision-making across the lifecycle of service—from active-duty populations and military families to veteran communities. 

We help clients move from reactive reporting to proactive, mission-aligned intelligence by modernizing legacy environments without downtime, connecting fragmented data, and delivering secure, interoperable platforms. Our teams build automated data pipelines that streamline submission, validation, and analysis; address interoperability barriers with shared standards and governance; and enable secure exchange of sensitive documentation at scale. We also stand up high-volume, high-velocity data operations to deliver trusted insights when timelines are tight.
