The Lund Report

Mission

The Lund Report is an independent, nonprofit news service that provides exclusive and in-depth coverage of health care in Oregon and southwest Washington. We produce high-quality journalism to promote the awareness and understanding required for positive progress.

Bottom Line for Portland

Our reporters track hospitals and other providers in Portland and around Oregon, spotlighting patient care and workplace conditions. We monitor insurers and the state-run Oregon Health Plan, which provides care for 1.4 million people. We follow the money, cover the players, and track what lawmakers and lobbyists are doing.
 

Advocates recently hailed our coverage that caused the state to halt a program that blocked low-income children from getting needed medical care and led it to drop barriers to health care interpreters for Indigenous peoples. We’ve exposed problems in Measure 110’s rollout and in the state’s response to addiction at a level found nowhere else. 

Quote

“The Lund Report plays such an important part in our media landscape, diving into health care issues at a level others cannot.” — Rebeka Gipson-King, former communications manager, Oregon Health Authority

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

The Lund Report and its sister organization, the Oregon Health Forum, are committed to continually bringing to light the disparities and inequities prevalent in the health care system. Through reporting that highlights racism and discrimination in medicine and industry-focused health forums that facilitate important discussions around addressing these issues at their roots, our work helps make health care more equitable for all Oregonians.
