History
PF started as the 'Postkortaksjonen' (Postcard campaign) in 2017, campaigning to get better healthcare services in the Alta and Kautokeino municipalities.[5] They organised postcards being sent to the Storting, describing their problems with healthcare.[6]
In 2021, the organisation submitted an electoral list in 2021 in order to take part in the parliamentary election that year.[6] After winning her seat, the leader Ojala took a position on the Health and Care Committee in the Storting.[7]
The party ran in the 2025 election, losing its seat.[7][8]

The party is considered to be single-issue, focusing primarily on the hospital and healthcare for the region.[5][6][2] However, in 2021 it plans to use direct democracy among its constituents to determine other policy posititions.[9]
