In the 2013-2014 school year, 47 health-related CTE programs were offered in 49 high schools in 19 of Oregon’s 36 counties (or 16% of all public and charter schools).

In 2012, there were 42 high school health career-related CTE programs in 20 Oregon counties, including a new regional program developed by Heppner, Pendleton, and Umatilla High Schools.

AHEC programs start in K-16 education through professional training and into support for practicing professionals. In 2014, the regional AHECs offered a variety of health career-related programs in 83 of Oregon’s high schools (including one tribal middle/high school education program) in 25 counties.

  • Voters' Pamphlet May 21 2002 Primary Election Nonpartisan Candidates
    Oregon Secretary of State 2002 Voters’ Pamphlet | May 21, 2002 Primary Election (Nonpartisan Candidates) Dear Oregonian As Oregon's Secretary of State, one of my most important goals is to make sure that every Oregonian has the opportunity to register and to vote. Your vote is your voice. Voting gives each individual the power to make decisions about who leads our state and what laws are passed - and I am working hard to provide every Oregonian with the information and inspiration they need to exercise their precious right to vote. The Voters' Pamphlet is the most direct and complete source of information on candidates and issues in our state. I encourage you to use this document as a resource to help you make thoughtful, informed decisions as you vote. Remember: the ballot you cast in May will affect all of our lives and the future of our state. The May 2002 election will be Oregon's second statewide primary conducted entirely by mail. Two years ago, a total of over 900,000 Oregonians cast ballots in the first vote-by-mail Primary. The high turnout during the 2000 Primary reversed a steady twenty-year decline in the number of Oregonians casting Primary Election ballots. In fact, it represented a 16 percent increase over the highest number of votes ever cast in a polling place Primary Election. This year, I challenge Oregon to do even better. The nation is experiencing a disturbing decline in voter participation, particularly among young people. We stand the risk of losing a whole generation of voters.
