Oregon Primary Care Association Alternative Payment & Care Model Conference

On Friday, July 22, 2016, Laura Russell and Rachel Arnold headed to the beautiful Oregon Coast to meet with staff from community health centers from across Oregon. Ms. Russell spoke on a panel of community partners about how clinics can implement strategies to address social determinants of health. Clinic leadership and clinicians alike showed excitement about the prospect of medical-legal partnership in improving patient and population health. Ms. Russell and Ms. Arnold then offered a “mini-clinic” on MLP for those who were interested in learning more. Their experience clearly demonstrates the interest in developing community-based MLPs throughout Oregon.
