About
Join Oregon lawmakers from both sides of the aisle ahead of the 2026 short session for an in-depth conversation about Oregon’s pressing health care issues.
As Oregonians continue to navigate the ongoing behavioral health crisis, rising health care costs and challenges around affordability and access, legislators are working toward solutions. The annual Legislative Preview is a powerful opportunity for community members, health care workers and lawmakers to gather in discussion about the issues and proposed solutions. Bring your questions and big ideas, all are welcome!
