Educating and advocating for quality, affordable, Universal Health Care in Oregon
Join the effort to bring Universal Health Care to Oregon
When the system fails, communities step up. Street medicine and mobile clinics prove that people-centered care is possible today. Join front-line providers and community care workers as they share what low-barrier care teaches us about dignity, equity, access, and what comes next.
Speakers:
