> We bring people together who share the values of better health care and health for all. Past conferences have outlined the Triple Aim, how we can work towards health equity, the impact of music and the arts on health and shaped our current work on exciting projects such as Open Notes and Choosing Wisely. When we work together in common cause, we build strong support for better public policies, and each year Oregon's policies have moved forward because of you.
> 
> This year's conference will help us define the “next” goal, pushing the envelope to encompass the breadth of policies that impact our health. The conference will be interactive, engaging and will leave you with ideas of how we can do better.
