2026 Annual Conference
Portland State University Hoffmann Hall
1833 SW 11th Ave, Portland, OR 97201
Health Care for All Oregon has been fighting for universal health care for over 25 years.
We are finally at the precipice of historical change.
Oregon is on track to be the first state to move to universal health care, and the next few years are crucial to this movement.
This transformation will not be won alone but with organizing, advocacy work, and coalition building with Oregonians like you.
Whether you have been part of this amazing effort since the start, or are brand new to our organization, we invite you to join us at our annual conference on May 30th at PSU’s Hoffmann Hall!
At this conference you'll hear from our president and volunteer leaders about the significant strides we have made this past year, learn from those building the plan, and our state legislators who support health equity for all.
There will also be breakout sessions where you can learn more about how YOU can connect to our movement in a way that is meaningful to you!
We look forward to meeting with each and every one of you!
