BEND 101 — October 18

Wednesday, October 18, 2023 (5:30 PM - 8:00 PM) (PDT)

Description

Spend the evening getting to know the history of Bend, how it developed into what we experience today, and how we can contribute a thriving community into the future. There will be time to socialize, indulge in bites and beverages, and enjoy the program in the beautiful and historic Mountain Room on the third floor of Deschutes Brewery.

The evening’s seasonal program will focus on the Healthcare Ecosystem in Central Oregon. Bend has grown but is still situated in a rural part of our state that requires our healthcare organizations to be self-sufficient and independent in many ways without having access to resources that one would see in a more urban area of Oregon. Learn how the various providers we have here locally collaborate with one another and come up with innovative solutions to ensure that our community members receive the level of service they need.
