To download various speaker's presentations, scroll down to the speaker list.

Last year's dynamic conference was attended by over 300 industry professionals. Throughout the day, we explored public and private partnerships within today's health system, and even proposed new partnerships during the Partnership Challenge.

Over twenty proposals were submitted for review by Northwest Health Foundation. Drumroll, please...

$10,000 Grant goes to:

A partnership between the Central Oregon Health Collaborative and the Oregon Coalition of Health Care Purchasers that will promote wellness and health behavior change programs in small firms that cannot support such programs on their own. The Oregon Coalition of Health Care Purchasers will work with the Central Oregon Health Collaborative and other partner organizations to develop, plan, and pilot the project in Deschutes County.
The grant awardees, Northwest Health Foundation and Oregon Health Forum recently had their initial meeting:
