It's true: At centers like the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, researchers routinely mention Group Health alongside the legendary Mayo Clinic and InterMountain Healthcare as exemplary models from which the rest of the country can begin to learn how to solve the health care crisis. With needed reform stymied by national political gridlock, local initiative becomes essential. So let us lead from here, now. When it comes to seemingly impossible challenges, Group Health has some experience: We were founded more than 60 years ago by a group of innovative consumers and physicians. We still govern ourselves with a board comprised of business, community, and health care leaders elected by people who receive coverage and care here. We still believe we can transform health care in America, but to reach that far we want your help, your expertise, and your passion. If this all seems too difficult, ambitious, or naive, we can take inspiration from anthropologist Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed individuals can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." Please join us in this necessary work. Let's talk. Scott Armstrong
