Our Community Leadership Council members have identified several policy objectives so far for 2011. You can see our 2011 Policy Focus, which describes our interest in both our experience with health care and our desire to move toward health.

  • progress in developing the framework for a health insurance exchange;
  • developing standards for continuing education for licensed health providers related to cultural competence;
  • finding strategies to reduce the level of sugar-sweetened beverages consumed, especially by children and adolescents;
  • examining two proposed strategies to develop a ‘single payer’ Oregon plan (one led by Rep. Michael Dembrow of Portland, the other by Sen. Frank Morse of Albany), so that they can be compared “apples-to-apples” with other reform proposals being put forth.
