The Oregon Health Authority’s (OHA) goal is to improve the lifelong health of Oregonians. This is achieved through increasing healthcare access and quality while keeping costs under control.

OHA’s health equity definition means all people can reach their full health potential and well-being and are not disadvantaged by their race, ethnicity, language, disability, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social class, intersections among these communities or identities, or other socially determined circumstances. Achieving health equity requires the ongoing collaboration of all regions and sectors of the state, including tribal governments to address: (1) The equitable distribution or redistribution of resources and power; and (2) recognizing, reconciling and rectifying historical and contemporary injustices. OHA is overseen by the nine-member citizen Oregon Health Policy Board working toward comprehensive health and health care reform in our state.
