OHA Health Share Health and Housing VISTA
 
 
 
This position joins the Oregon Health Authority’s statewide VISTA team. In addition to activities at your individual site, each member receives additional orientation, training throughout the year, team retreats and meetings, and the support of the team leaders and project director based at the state public health agency. For more information about the Oregon Health Authority VISTA Partnership Program, please visit: http://healthoregon.org/vista. Selections are made on a rolling basis and early applications are strongly encouraged. Health Share of Oregon serves approximately 380,000 Oregon Health Plan members in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. We bring together health plans, providers, and community health resources so our members can access the care they need to be well. The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is our state’s Medicaid program. It provides no-cost health coverage—including medical, dental, and mental health and substance use benefits—to individuals and families who qualify. In addition to coordinating care and resources for members, we work with community partners in health care, education, housing, transportation, and social services to broaden health access and opportunity. Together with our partners, we are creating community-based solutions that lower everyday barriers to health, like providing rides to health care appointments, offering opportunities for peer support, and more. The OHA VISTA Partnership Project is committed to building a diverse workforce to broaden and deepen our work in the communities we serve. We encourage candidates from communities of color, disability, LGBTQIA, and linguistically diverse populations to consider application to our positions. With the innovative public health work happening in Oregon, Portland is a wonderful place to explore a future in public health.
