The Oregon Health Forum is pleased to invite you to attend our May 23rd OHF Breakfast, “Healthcare and Business: International Lessons for Oregon.” Our panelists are internationally recognized scholars of US and international healthcare systems, Drs. Theodore Marmor and Kieke Okma. Our moderator is Greg Van Pelt, President of the Oregon Health Leadership Council.
Oregon’s employers struggle to keep their work forces healthy and business costs down. No state has solved this challenge. Yet other industrialized countries spend less on healthcare and enjoy healthier work forces. How do they do it? Two internationally recognized speakers, moderated by a business leader in Oregon’s healthcare community, discuss how Oregon’s businesses can provide better care at lower cost.
When: Wednesday, May 23rd, 7:00 am buffet breakfast; 7:30-9 am, interactive panel & audience questions.
Where: Multnomah Athletic Club (1849 SW Salmon St, Portland, OR 97205) Parking is free at Multnomah Athletic Club
