What is the Alliance of State Pain Initiatives?

The Alliance of State Pain Initiatives is a national network of state based Pain Initiatives dedicated to promoting pain relief. State Pain Initiatives (SPIs) exist in nearly every state of the country and are interdisciplinary organizations that work to remove the barriers to effective pain control through professional and patient education, advocacy, and improvements to the health care system. The national office of the Alliance of State Pain Initiatives is affiliated with HOPE of Wisconsin and is located in Madison, Wisconsin. The national office facilitates the sharing of resources among SPIs, develops innovative pain management improvement programs, organizes an annual national meeting, and serves as the collective voice for the SPIs on national issues.
