Oregon’s Health Care Workforce Committee is discussing provider incentive programs used to recruit and retain health care providers in areas of Oregon that lack providers, and they want to hear from you.
In June, a series of meetings will be held around the state to hear directly from health care clinicians, employers, local officials, and others impacted by the availability of health care providers. Attendees will be invited to share their views and respond to key questions. The information shared by participants will be presented to the Health Care Workforce Committee and the Oregon Health Policy Board in July and August. The Health Policy Board will provide recommendations to the Oregon Legislature on the future of Oregon’s incentive programs.
Below are the meeting locations for the listening sessions including locations, dates, and times. To reserve your space, please email [email protected] indicate the city you wish to attend.
