(SALEM) - A meeting to discuss ways to improve Oregon’s broken health care system will be held Wednesday, September 27th, from 7:00 to 8:30 PM at the First Congregational Church located at 700 Marion St. N.E.

Sponsored by the newly-forming Salem Chapter of the Archimedes Movement, the meeting is free and open to the public.

The community meeting is one of many being held across Oregon to encourage citizens to share insights and discuss possible next steps in formulating a new health care system that will ensure effective and affordable health care is available to everyone.

The Archimedes Movement was established earlier this year at The Foundation for Medical Excellence under the leadership and direction of former Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber, MD.

The goal of the movement is to serve as a catalyst to drive the debate on a vision for health care system reform in Oregon and across the nation.

The Corvallis Chapter of the Archimedes Movement will also be hosting a meeting this month.

The meeting will take place at the Corvallis Benton County Library, located at 645 NW Monroe in Corvallis, beginning at 7:00 PM.
