The Lund Report brings our healthcare system into focus by going beneath the surface. Our goal is to educate you -- the consumer -- about this complex system, giving you the facts, analysis and action tools to make a difference.We're unlike any news source you've seen before -- the first independent Web news site in Oregon dedicated to educating you about the inner workings of the healthcare industry. You can count on us to be timely, provocative, and offer new perspectives. We're passionate about what we do and are beholden to no one. Even though we do accept funding from the healthcare industry, The Lund Report is not influenced by its financial contributors, no matter who they are, and we have not and never will deviate from reporting the truth about the healthcare industry. Our news coverage focuses on the major issues confronting our healthcare system – rising costs, unequal access and the lack of standardization to measure quality. With an emphasis on Oregon, this online publication does occasionally include articles about national reform efforts. Inside The Lund Report you can hear from people willing to challenge the status quo – while having an opportunity to share your own perspective by submitting guest commentaries.We're a news source, not a blog. We value and invite your comments and story suggestions. Don't hesitate to contact us!
