Early in the new year – just days before Congress, state Legislatures and a newly elected President begin their work – Oregon Health Forum and the Northwest Health Foundation hosted a day-long summit to discuss the concurrent paths of state and national health reform. Over 350 people joined prominent policy scholars and elected officials, along with leaders in health, business, education, faith, labor and advocacy, for a valuable discussion on driving health reform.
