The Oregon Prescription Drug Affordability Board (PDAB) will host a series of community forums to hear from patients, caregivers, and other Oregonians about the cost of medications and how these costs affect their lives.

Both online and in‑person events are available. All forums will cover similar material, so participants can choose the option that best fits their schedule.
