OHA Yamhill Community Care Community Engagement 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 Project, please visit: http://healthoregon.org/vista. Selections are made on a rolling basis and early applications are strongly encouraged. Yamhill Community Care (YCCO) is one of 16 coordinated care organizations (CCOs) in Oregon that manage care and provides resources for members on the Oregon Health Plan. Oregon Health Plan assigns Medicaid members to a CCO, which offers members additional support, including a designated primary care provider, services to manage chronic conditions, and other benefits designed to address the whole person and address barriers associated with individuals' social needs, location, and identities. YCCO administrative offices are located in McMinnville, Oregon. McMinnville is a town of around 33,000 nestled in the heart of wine country, and home to Linfield College. McMinnville is an hour from Portland, an hour from the coast, three hours from Mount Hood, and surrounded by gorgeous hiking and sightseeing opportunities. With the innovative public health work happening in Oregon, McMinnville is a wonderful place to explore a future in public health. The OHA VISTA Partnership Project is committed to building a diverse workforce to broaden and deepen our work in the communities we serve. We strongly encourage candidates from communities of color, disability, LGBTQIA, and linguistically diverse populations to consider application to our positions.
