Center for Health Care
 |
Launched in 2006, The Center for Health Care develops solutions to reduce costs and improve the availability and quality of health care for businesses and individuals, providing the only detailed, independent critique of health care issues available in the Northwest. We believe that it is critical for legislators, media, and citizens to be informed of health care issues impacting consumers. The Center hosts an Annual Health Care Conference at the beginning of the Summer as well as publishing studies and commentaries, and is a continuing resource for Washington citizens. |
