OUR CLIENTS: California Endowment


California EndowmentCalifornia's pre-eminent healthcare foundation partnered with Viewpoint Learning to develop a range of big-picture reforms to the state's healthcare system that both businesses and the public would be willing to support, along with conditions for that support.

The first step in this ongoing project was a set of Strategic Dialogues with business and healthcare leaders from around the state. Participants in these dialogues established the larger context for the subsequent citizen dialogues and identified some long-term health care solutions that business leaders would like to see tested with the public.

A statewide series of ChoiceDialogues then examined citizens' responses to four very different choices that would lead to universal healthcare coverage in California. The forthcoming report will look at how participants dealt with questions about levels of coverage, who provides it, how it gets paid for, the role of public health and how the system creates equity. Following the release of the report, Viewpoint Learning and The California Endowment will coordinate a series of “Interactive Briefings” for leaders in which the findings are presented as the basis for a dialogue about next steps and implementation.
