Sustainable Healthcare with John Kitzhaber June 6, 2007 - 6:30pm to 8:30pm Please RSVP to Lesley at lesley@southwaterfront.com or 503.222.7788. Refreshments will be served. Dr. Kitzhaber has spent much of his professional career working to address this issue. Before he was elected Governor in 1994 he served in the Oregon Legislature where he authored and implemented the groundbreaking Oregon Health Plan. Commitment to healthcare reform remains a focal point of his current activities. Governor Kitzhaber serves as President of the Estes Park Institute, a leading educational forum for community hospitals; he is Director of the Center for Evidence Based Policy at Oregon Health & Science University; and he holds an endowed Chair in Health Care Policy with The Foundation for Medical Excellence, an Oregon based public, nonprofit educational foundation. On January 13, 2006 Dr. Kitzhaber launched The Archimedes Movement – committed to building a meaningful opportunity for engagement through which the growing concern over our healthcare system can be channeled into effective action The goal is to create not only the vision for a more equitable and sustainable system but also the tension necessary for its realization. Today in Oregon over 610,000 people lack health insurance. The inability to pay a medical bill is the second leading cause of personal bankruptcy; the cost of healthcare poses a huge obstacle to economic growth, reducing the capacity of firms to grow and compromising competitiveness in the global economy. To resolve this crisis we must move beyond simply defending programs and antiquated structures to an examination of the outdated operating system which shapes and constrains the way we finance and deliver health care in America. This is a free event.
