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 focused community conversation about gaps in Medicaid and healthcare access in Oregon. As an organization with a long history of serving as "the safety net to the safety net," PANOW is bringing together a group of community leaders, building upon other forums and community conversations, to help the organization develop a responsive collaborative approach to addressing the challenges that are forthcoming from state and federal changes to coverage and healthcare access.

Your expertise and perspective are essential as we plan for PANOW's response to these impending challenges, one that is multi-sector and collaborative. A more detailed agenda will be provided to confirmed attendees.

Please note: A light breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please note any food allergies or accommodations needed on your RSVP form. Street / ramp parking and public transit options are plentiful around our building.

Project Access NOW was founded in 2007 in Portland, Oregon. Since our inception, we have aimed to fill gaps in the healthcare system and provide a "safety net to the safety net." We have continually adapted to changes in the healthcare landscape, focusing on connecting individuals to care, services, and resources, and advocating for systemic solutions to health inequities. Our work has involved facilitating donated care, assisting with health insurance enrollment, providing premium assistance, and addressing social determinants of health in community settings as well as to ensure successful transitions from hospital care.
