As you may know I am on the board of the Society for Participatory Medicine (SPM) which is trying to promote a new partnership between patients and the health care system.

On June 16 at 8am-1pm PST SPM is hosting a Creative Learning Exchange in Portland, OR at OHSU. The topic is Advancing Health Equity Through Participatory Medicine and there’ll be patients, clinicians and other leading crucial discussions about how to move health equity forward.

If you are in Portland please come join the meeting and if you can’t get there, it will be broadcast online. (There’s a nominal cost for tickets but no one will be turned away if they can’t afford it) Click here to find out more.–Matthew Holt
