COVID-19 Community Partner Calls

Welcome! Thank you for joining us today

Who is this call for?

• Community Based Organizations providing direct service to

Oregonians.

• This call is NOT for Health Care Providers, Local Public Health

Authorities, public information officers or the Media. OHA has provided alternative phone calls and resources for those individuals/organizations.

OHA’s Acknowledgment to Community

• We acknowledge there are institutional, systemic and structural

barriers that perpetuate inequity that have silenced the voices of communities over time.

• We are committed to partnerships, co-creation and co-ownership of

solutions with communities disproportionately affected by health issues so they groups can actively participate in planning, implementing and evaluating efforts to address the COVID-19 response and other health issues.

• We recognize community-engaged health improvement is a long-

term and evolving process.

OHA’s Acknowledgment to Community

• We are striving to engage with communities through deliberate,

structured, emerging and best practice processes.

• We are striving to make engagement with public health effective for

communities, especially those communities that experience institutional, systemic and structural barriers.
