Governor Tina Kotek and the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) are seeking qualified candidates to serve on the Oregon Health Policy Board (OHPB). The Governor is looking for individuals who are committed to eliminating inequities, improving health, improving health care and to lowering health care costs in Oregon.
The OHPB is a nine-member Board appointed by the Governor. It serves as the policy-making body for OHA and is responsible for improving the health care delivery system as well as improving the health of Oregonians by developing state public health goals, strategies, programs, and performance standards. For information and materials from previous meetings, visit OHPB’s website. For resources and information on executive membership, including OHPB, visit the Governor’s Boards and Commissions webpage.
While all applications will be considered, based on current membership there is interest in identifying Board members who are located outside of the Portland-metro area and have expertise and/or experience in one or more of the following areas:
-
Equity, diversity and inclusion (professional and lived expertise, ally or representative from underrepresented communities or experiencing health inequities)
- Behavioral Health
- Health Policy
- Healthcare Workforce
The term of office is four years. Upon nomination by the Governor, nominees must be confirmed by the state Senate.
Oregon rules (ORS 413.007) requires that OHPB consists of individuals who:
- Have demonstrated leadership skills in their professional and civic lives.
- Represent, to the greatest extent possible, various geographic, ethnic, gender, racial and economic diversity of the state.
- Collectively offer expertise, knowledge and experience in consumer advocacy, management of a company that offers health insurance to its employees, public health, finance, organized labor, health care and operation of a small business.
- Are citizens of the United States and are residents of Oregon.
