About

With sweeping changes to Medicaid looming, everyone — from the 1.4 million Oregonians who rely on the program to the ecosystem that provides their care — are bracing for the impact. Who is most at risk of losing coverage? How can we prepare now to keep Oregonians enrolled, support those we can’t and fortify our health system? 

Join Oregon Health Forum, in collaboration with Oregon Health Authority and Comagine Health, for a panel discussion, community dialogue and strategy session focused on reducing disruption, strengthening coordination and preparing for what’s ahead. Can’t be there? Register to listen in on the livestream.
