Using the Advancement Framework, Cambia Grove worked with community partners in Washington, Utah and Oregon to measure each state’s innovation ecosystem. Thank you to the many contributors to this work including Governor Jay Inslee (D-WA), Governor Spencer Cox (R-UT), Cambia Grove Innovation Councils and the dozens of interviewees who work every day to transform the health care system to be more person-focused and economically sustainable.
