Seizing the moment for change
“The overarching challenge facing our healthcare system today is the total cost of care which has become increasingly unaffordable for individual consumers, the Government and for employers.

– John Kitzhaber, M.D., Former Oregon Governor; Convener, the Health System Sustainability Group (View summary and report)
