Event Description

Want a chance to impact health reform this legislative session? Well, Salem and representatives are coming to your town next week to listen to what you have to say.

The Oregon State Legislature's House Committee on Health Care will be holding a public hearing on House Bill 2009 in Grants Pass.

This is an excellent opportunity for you to come out and not only share your feelings on the bill but also your health story as well as the Archimedes Movement's principles.

Recently, our director Liz Baxter testified infront of the committee last week - to read her testimony see the attached document.

If you think you are going to come out and testify at the meeting then please tell us as we'd love to know.

If you have any general questions about the proceedings please contact the committee assistant Lara Eads at lara.eads@state.or.us or (503) 986-1529.

Help shape the future of Oregon's health by coming out and participating. Make sure to tell and bring a friend or even wear your We Can Do Better T-shirt.
