Thorn Run Partners (TRP) (thornrun.com) and the Rockingstone Group (rockingstonegroup.com) today announced the formation of a strategic alliance to link their leading health care policy and tactical capabilities. The two firms will share intelligence, collaborate on policy analysis, and jointly serve on new client projects.

Founded in 2010, Thorn Run Partners features one of Washington’s leading health care lobbying, communications, and policy practices, and proudly represents some of the nation’s leading companies, trade associations, and nonprofits.
