Rep. Shields Calls on N/NE Portland to Participate in Health Fund Board Meeting Sept. 8
From Representative Chip Shields:
Rep. Chip Shields (D-N/NE Portland) issued a call today for residents of North and Northeast Portland to participate in a town hall forum hosted by the Oregon Health Fund Board, Monday, September 8 at the Oregon Convention Center. The event, one of 10 statewide community town hall forums hosted by Board , will take place from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
The Oregon Health Fund Board was created by SB 329, the Healthy Oregon Act, during 2007 Legislative session. Rep. Shields helped pass the bill through his participation in Joint Ways & Means Committee.
Comprised of seven citizen members appointed by the Governor, the Oregon Health Fund Board is working to develop affordable quality health care for every Oregonian. The board is seeking feedback and input on its plan. It is expected to present its final plan to the Governor in November, and the Oregon Legislative Assembly for consideration in the upcoming 2009 session.
