Project Access NOW

Medicaid and Healthcare Access Convening

October 30, 2025 - 9am-4pm

650 NE Holladay St # 1700, Portland, OR 97232

 

Project Access NOW is seeking your collaboration and input. Please join us for a critical community conversation about gaps in Medicaid and healthcare access in Oregon. 

As an organization with a long history of serving as a safety net to the safety net, PANOW is bringing together key PANOW partners and community leaders to help the organization develop a responsive approach to addressing the challenges that are forthcoming from state and federal changes to coverage and healthcare access. Due to the significant gaps in coverage and access that are scheduled to occur in the coming years, we are preparing to scale or adjust our programs and need to do this in concert with partners and funders. 

We understand this is a significant time commitment. To fully address the complexity of these issues, we've allotted a full day and are requesting one representative from each invited organization to keep the conversation focused and manageable. Your full participation and expertise are essential for a productive discussion. We appreciate your willingness to lend your insights and the experiences of your organization to this effort.

For any questions or to request accommodations, please email rebecca.raab@projectaccessnow.org. A detailed agenda will be shared with registered attendees.
