The Center for Outcomes Research & Education (CORE) annual Data Summit returned for its third year this June. The event brought together 34 partners in Portland for an exciting day of learning, networking, and collaboration.

The summit is part of CORE's Data for Change program, which pairs CORE’s data experts with community-based organizations from around Oregon receiving grant funding from Providence Community Health Investment. CORE works alongside these partners to boost their data capacity and provide technical assistance, training, networking and other opportunities. The annual Data Summit is Data for Change’s signature in-person event.
