What changes are in store for the state’s 16 coordinated care organizations? Is a proposal to revamp the Cadillac Tax which imposes a tax on high-cost employer plans a reality? These and other health policy decisions await legislators who’ll convene in Salem on February 1.
Oregon Health Forum – in collaboration with Oregon Environmental Council – is bringing the most influential legislators together on January 27 to delve into these pressing issues. And, tickets are going fast.
On January 27, you’ll hear from:
- Sen. Michael Dembrow
- Rep. Mitch Greenlick
- Rep. Alissa Keny-Guyer
- Rep. Julie Parrish, and
- Sen. Elizabeth Steiner Hayward
Tim Nesbitt, a public policy consultant and a contributing columnist for The Oregonian, will be our moderator. This provocative event gets underway at the Multnomah Athletic Club at 7 a.m. and is sponsored by Oregon Health Forum and the Oregon Environmental Council.
We also have a limited number of sponsorship opportunities. Please contact our development director, Janet Grubel at [email protected] for details.
Lynne Saxton, director of the Oregon Health Authority, hinted at what to expect when she appeared at our December breakfast forum, which drew a capacity crowd of more than 200 attendees. “We have to make gains in public health that will pay off in overall health,” she said, referencing Rep. Mitch Greenlick, D-Portland, who’s heading that initiative.
We’ve also scheduled a March 31 breakfast forum with SEIU to discuss the plight of healthcare workers in these challenging times. Stay tuned for details.
Oregon Health Forum is the educational arm of The Lund Report, and provides a place where healthcare leaders can discuss pivotal issues and interact with their colleagues. The public is welcome to attend these breakfast forums held at the Multnomah Athletic Club.
