Businesses play a powerful role in shaping the conditions that allow communities to thrive — factors like workforce stability, economic vitality, and local policy. Yet they’re often left out of public health partnerships, and that’s a missed opportunity.

Launching today, our research-based toolkit, on Engaging Business Leaders in Public Health Partnerships, gives public health professionals a practical roadmap to understand what matters most to private sector leaders and how to engage with them effectively.

For the 1.4 million Oregonians currently enrolled in Medicaid, the federal changes ahead could mean loss of coverage, reduced access to care and greater strain on already overburdened providers and hospitals across the state.

Preparing now could help soften the blow.

Join Oregon Health Forum at the University of Oregon Portland Campus to learn what’s coming and begin collaborating. For the first time, OHF will also offer a livestream so people across the state - and nation - can hear the strategies and ideas Oregon is putting forward.

Let’s learn, connect, and build a healthier Oregon together.

Big changes to Medicaid are coming — and the impact will reach far beyond those enrolled. With 1.4 million Oregonians relying on the program, what happens next matters across the entire health care system.

But this isn’t just a panel — it’s a strategy session in collaboration with Oregon Health Authority and Comagine Health.

Who’s most at risk of losing coverage? What can be done now to reduce disruption and keep people connected to care? Learn the landscape from our panelists. In the room? Join the dialogue. Can’t be there? Listen in on the livestream.
