[Self-Management_OR] Place Matters registration is now open!

[Chisholm Laura F]

Dear Oregon Self-Management Network partners,

You are cordially invited to attend the Place Matters conference in Portland in October! All of the sessions are related to community-based supports for chronic disease self-management, because healthful environments support active self-management. Some of the sessions are pertinent to self-management program delivery (check out the Community-Clinic linkages breakout, highlighting successes from the Sustainable Relationships for Community Health/SRCH project that's building self-management referral and payment systems with Medicaid Coordinated Care Organizations).

I would especially encourage you to consider doing a poster presentation -further information is available on the registration site. I look forward to seeing you there!

Laura
