Meet the 2026 Health Journalism Fellows

AHCJ is excited to announce the 2026 Health Journalism fellows. This group is a dynamic and diverse mix of passionate and dedicated journalists committed to illuminating the complexities of health care in today’s world.

This year, more than 60 fellows will receive registration, travel support and lodging to attend Health Journalism 2026 in Minneapolis, Minn., May 27-30.

With philanthropic support, AHCJ is able to help journalists across the country attend the annual conference, providing one of the most direct and extensive professional development opportunities in the industry. Not only do these fellowships assist journalists who otherwise might not have access to the latest resources and experts, they also provide a sense of community and belonging – things that are imperative to retaining journalists in the field and ensuring the long term sustainability of the industry.
