OPHA Bill HB2337 Info Sheet Racism Is a Public Health Crisis OPHA Bill HB2337 Info Sheet Racism is a Public Health Crisis Purpose • Declare racism as a public health crisis in Oregon. • Acknowledge Oregon’s racist history and its current day impact on policies and systems that perpetuate in- stitutional racism which causes harm, trauma, illness and death to Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) Oregonians, and the need to heal these injustices through accelerated intentional actions. • Articulate investments and strategies needed to address health inequities among BIPOC Oregonians and Oregon Tribes: Invest in the following key strategies: 1. The collection of race, ethnicity, language, and disability (REAL-D) data is critical for better understanding population health by systematically measuring more granular level data to reveal the unique inequities faced by specific communities across the state. In turn, this data informs future investments in addressing health inequi- ties to focus efforts specifically where they are needed most and thereby more effectively and efficiently use and save state resources. a. Expands the collection of REAL-D data to all state agencies, subcontractors and vendors as practica- ble. b. Clarifies representation on advisory committees that informs updates to data collection standards are diverse and include at minimum: BIPOC community members, the nine federally recognized Oregon Tribes (if there is interest in participating), people with disabilities, and people with limited English profi- ciency. 2. Local public health authorities provide data to Oregon Health Authority (OHA) to develop a statewide mobile health unit plan. These units will focus on providing basic health, behavioral health, oral health, and connection to other wraparound services specifically for BIPOC communities. Mobile unit staff will be culturally and linguisti- cally diverse and reflective of the communities they serve. A pilot program will also be developed in an effort to elicit lessons learned that will inform OHA’s statewide plan. 3. Oregon Advocacy Commission staffs population specific affinity groups by race with statewide membership to identify future strategies and investments needed to address institutional racism and health equity. Communi- ty involvement will be supported with stipends. 4. Creates an oversight body in Oregon Health Authority to assess language access compliance for all health systems across the state. Technical assistance will be provided to facilitate compliance. 5. Adds staff to the Legislature who will develop racial health equity analysis criteria, analyze all future legisla- tion for health equity considerations, and report findings back to respective committees. 6. Creates an Equity Coordinator for the Legislature to address and coordinate ADA and language accessibility barriers for better public participation in the legislative process. The Equity Coordinator will also form partner- ships with diverse communities to develop a needs assessment and program efficacy plan. Community involve- ment will be supported with stipends. Also allocate resources to support these efforts. Without hearing from peo- ple with lived experience, the opportunity to address unintended consequences is lost. We will have more equi- table policies, and ultimately more opportunities to address institutional racism when more people have the sup- ports they need to be able to participate in the legislative process. Better policies supporting the health of all people will equate to increased health and wellness in communities when negative consequences are ad- dressed prior to becoming law. OARs 943-070-0000 thru 943-070-007: These Oregon Administrative Rules establish uniform standards and practices for the collection of data on race, ethnicity, preferred spoken or signed and preferred written language, and disability status by the Oregon Health Authority and DHS.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.

In addition to the standard policy and budget committees, the Oregon House of Representatives will have new committees in the upcoming session to address timely issues, including wildfire recovery, redistricting, institutional reform of the Legislature, as well as subcommittees focusing on COVID-19 response, equitable policing and the return of a policy committee dedicated to early childhood issues. “Oregonians are facing crises that demand urgent action. The House is ready to lead on the issues that matter most in people’s lives right now. We also need to create the space to have a focused conversation about long-term, transformational changes to modernize the people’s legislature,” Speaker Kotek said. “I’m grateful for the diverse perspectives that my colleagues will bring as we all work together to help Oregonians navigate the big challenges that lie ahead.” Speaker Kotek communicated directly with every returning and new member of the Oregon House of Representatives before deciding on committee assignments, taking the time to weigh and discuss their priorities, interests and notable experience. She also consulted with both caucus leaders before finalizing the assignments. The House will convene on Monday, January 11 to swear in members.

Witness my hand and the Seal of the State of Oregon in Salem, Oregon, this 6th day of April, 2020. Bev Clarno Oregon Secretary of State Oregon votes by mail. Ballots will be mailed to registered voters beginning April 29. OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE ELECTIONS DIVISION STEPHEN N. TROUT BEV CLARNO DIRECTOR SECRETARY OF STATE 255 CAPITOL ST NE, SUITE 501 SALEM, OREGON 97310 (503) 986-1518 Dear Oregon Voter, The information this Voters’ Pamphlet provides is designed to assist you in participating in the May 19, 2020, Primary Election. Primary elections serve two main purposes. The first is for all voters to be able to cast ballots for candidates for nonpartisan offices like judges and some county and other local offices. The second is for the voters registered with a major political party to select their nominees for partisan office like US President. Those registered as not affiliated with a political party, or registered with a minor party (Constitution, Independent, Libertarian, Pacific Green, Progressive, Working Families) will receive a ballot that includes only nonpartisan offices. The US Supreme Court has ruled that political parties get to decide who votes in their primaries so unless you are registered as a Republican or Democrat you will not have candidates for President or any partisan office on your May Primary ballot.

  • Legislative Update
    LEGISLATIVE UPDATE Prepared for OAFP May 12, 2019 SB 765 – Primary Care Spending After nearly an hour of testimony on the Oregon Academy of Family Physician’s primary care spending bill, Rep. Rob Nosse (D-Portland) said, “I can’t figure out how it works.” For the past four years, insurers and CCOs have reported how much they spend on primary care as a percentage of their total medical spend. Part of the goal with SB 765 is to make the formula used to report that spending fits the national standard, so Oregon’s primary care spending can be compared with other states. “We now have an inaccurate report,” Jennifer DeVoe, MD, Chair of the Dept. of Family Medicine at OHSU, said. “People around the country are asking how did Oregon increase primary care spending from 6% to 12% in one year.” Glenn Rodriguez, MD, said we didn’t. We just changed the formula. “The methodology change in 2017 changed the percentage of primary care spending without actually increasing the amount spent on primary care.” State law says Oregon’s insurers and CCOs should spend 12% of their premium dollar on primary care. Devoe said, “The more money you spend on primary care, the more money you save.” A report from Portland State found that increased primary care spending through patient-centered primary care homes (PCPCH) saved $240 million in the first three years through lower emergency room use, fewer hospitalizations and reduced specialty care costs. The insurance carriers that testified — Cambia, Providence, Samaritan and Care Oregon — said they support primary care spending but were united in their opposition to the bill.
