Elected official phone script

Hello, my name is [XX], and I am a constituent of [Senator/Representative].

• I am calling to share my concerns about the pending acquisition of Legacy Health by OHSU.

• I am concerned based on the following factors (please choose whatever is most relevant to you/your interest):

• OHSU engaged in a deal with Labor Partners that creates inequitable job protections and two-tiers of Legacy employees.

• OHSU has not created a clear vision for why this transaction is necessary or what value it will bring to our communities. OHSU relies on their status as a public organization, but that is not enough. Our people/patients deserve more.

• There is significant data that this type of consolidation leads to practices that result in higher prices, which Oregonians cannot afford.

• The primary response to how OHSU will address health equity is to rely on a newly formed community foundation that will use leftover money from Legacy. They do not speak to what they, as the largest health care organization in Oregon currently do, or will do, to help address health equity in Oregon and Southwest Washington.

• I would ask that [Senator/Representative] work with OHA, on behalf of their constituents, to ensure that these concerns are addressed through the HCMO process.
