“Healthcare continues to be one of the fastest growing segments of Oregon’s budget. The accurate and consistent reporting provided by The Lund Report’s journalists is helping to shape conversations about how we address rising healthcare costs. There is no other news source like it in Salem.” – Rep. Knute Buehler, Orthopedic Surgeon, Bend.

Reporters at The Lund Report have investigated some of the biggest stories in healthcare, from the inner workings of Coordinated Care Organizations and Medicaid reimbursements to the joint venture between Legacy Health and PacificSource Heath Plan and the profits of hospitals and health insurers.

At times, our honest reporting has ruffled a few feathers. But, with healthcare and human service spending accounting for more than one-third of Oregon’s entire budget, the world of healthcare is too important to not report with fairness and accuracy.

The Lund Report readers, including numerous policy makers, have come to expect quality and unvarnished truth. But don’t just take our word for it. Look what legislators have to say:

“As a dentist and Vice-Chair of the House Healthcare Committee, I find The Lund Report to be a valuable source of news. The Lund Report has earned its reputation for accurate, fact-based reporting on important healthcare issues in Oregon.” - Rep. Cedric Hayden, Dentist, Roseburg.

“Preserving democracy and creating effective public policy relies on the ability to receive good information in a timely manner with which to make decisions. I appreciate the work The Lund Report does to ensure objectivity in its reporting.” – Rep. Rob Nosse, Oregon Nurses Association, Portland.

“Healthcare continues to be one of the fastest growing segments of Oregon’s budget. The accurate and consistent reporting provided by The Lund Report’s journalists is helping to shape conversations about how we address rising healthcare costs. There is no other news source like it in Salem.” – Rep. Knute Buehler, Orthopedic Surgeon, Bend.
