Health Reform

  • Oregon Health Authority
    The Oregon Health Authority is a new state agency created by House Bill 2009. By July 2011, most health-related programs in the state will be joined together to form the Health Authority. The OHA will be overseen by a nine-member, citizen-led board called the Oregon Health Policy Board.
  • Oregon Health Policy Board
    The nine-member Oregon Health Policy Board serves as the policy-making and oversight body for the Oregon Health Authority. The Board is committed to providing access to quality, affordable health care for all Oregonians and improving the health of the population. OHPB was established through House Bill 2009, signed by the Governor in June 2009. Board members are nominated by the Governor and must be confirmed by the Senate. Board members serve a four-year term of office. The Board is responsible for implementing the health care reform provisions of HB 2009.
