About

With costs soaring, access dwindling and major federal Medicaid cutbacks looming, healthcare leaders have mapped a system overhaul to improve care and spend less. Join us to learn about and comment on their proposals, including such key pillars as primary care and behavioral health. Tasked by Governor Kotek, the Health System Sustainability Group is led by former Governor Kitzhaber. 

This forum, a partnership between Oregon Health Forum and The Foundation for Medical Excellence, is the first in a two-part series laying groundwork for action in the 2027 state Legislature. View HSSG summary and report
