Social Determinants of Health Valeree Lane January 2020 The phrases “social determinants of health” and “equity lens” can seem like jargon that stands between people who work in the health care fields and those they serve. This report seeks to remove barriers to understanding and open a conversation about what influences the health and wellbeing (social determinants) of Klamath County residents, while working to meet people where they are and help them get to where they would like to be (equity). As with most work, it is a good idea to know a little history. Ar- cheologists have found evidence of early Klamath County resi- dents dating back at least 13,000 years, and these first citizens witnessed the eruption of Mount Mazama that would result in the formation of Crater Lake. One Klamath Nation leader and scholar has provided an insight into how to address current is- sues with an eye to the past. Thomas Ball, PhD, is a former Klamath Tribes Chairman who did his doctoral work around the generational trauma and post trau- matic stress experienced by the Tribes. The effort was not about making excuses, but creating a starting point for healing. A figure of his findings can be found on the next page.

The resources of the project are strongly associated with the early development of electricity in the southern Oregon and northern California region and played a significant role in the area’s economy both directly, as a part of a regionally-significant, locally-owned and operated, private utility, and indirectly, through the role that increased electrical capacity played in the expansion of the timber, agriculture, and recreation industries during the first six decades of the 20th century. The Klamath Hydroelectric Project is considered regionally significant and eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places under Criterion “A” for its association with the industrial and economic development of southern Oregon and northern California.

  • View the Klamath Summary Report
    SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT — KLAMATH BASIN GENERAL STREAM ADJUDICATION From the top of a fault formed ridge overlooking the expansive Upper Klamath Lake, the rest of the world seems to fall away. Unbroken blue skies and dry, thin air stretches the horizon impossibly far. To the east, parched buttes roll through deep, green farm-filled valleys. To the west, only the rugged, snow- capped Cascades can rein in the view. The feeling of freedom that defines the American West is alive in this place. Prepared by the Oregon Water Resources Department — October 1999 he Klamath Basin defies the soggy Northwest stereotype. The Cascade TMountains steal the moisture from eastward winds, transforming the damp, green Oregon known to most of the country. Away from the mountainsides, Lodge Pole and Ponderosa Pines supplant the water-dependent firs. The moss-covered logs and thick tangles of plants of the western forests are gone. In their place, reddish- black volcanic rocks speckle hillsides adorned with dusty sage. Sandy pumice soils are exposed to the wind and sun by the sparse ground cover. Everything seems to crack and crumble underfoot. Despite these desert-like conditions, an oasis of lakes, rivers, and marshes teams with wildlife. The remnants of a huge prehistoric lake once provided a cache of resources that allowed the Basin’s earliest human inhabitants to thrive in an otherwise formi- dable environment. Much time has passed and cultures have changed, but the reliance on these same resources has not. For more than 100 years, settlers, homesteaders, and their descendants have defied the desert by transforming vast lakes and marshes into farms and pasture–creating a heritage in the process.

The tract will be added to the newly created Gilchrist State Forest and will be managed for sustainable forestry and public recreation, generating significant revenue for Klamath County. The highest priority acquisition for Governor Kitzhaber, it represents a unique and affordable ($341/acre) investment in Oregon's future. Protection would eliminate 40 miles of inholding border for the 2 million acres of adjoining public lands. It will strengthen critical wildlife corridors, protect a large aquifer recharge area for the federally-designated Wild and Scenic View of project from Buell Butte (Photo by Doug Decker (Oregon Deschutes River, and restore a mature Ponderosa State Forester)) pine forest, one of the highest priority habitats in Oregon's Conservation Strategy. Because of its prime location--close to Bend and abundant outdoor recreation--and permissive zoning (with destination resort overlay), this parcel is seriously threatened by parcelization and conversion.
