OHA seeks applications for community review boards
OHA is seeking applicants for two community review boards related to its review of the proposed OHSU and Legacy transaction and a separate, but related, transaction involving Legacy and PacificSource.
Community review boards provide input about transactions and make a recommendation to OHA about whether a transaction should be approved. Board members can include people who live and work in affected communities, consumer advocates, health care experts and health care providers. Board members may not be employed by any of the entities involved in the transaction or by any similarly sized competitors.
Applications for the community review boards are due January 10, 2025. OHA expects to convene the community review boards in the first quarter of 2025. Selected members need to be available for up to ten virtual meetings and two virtual public hearings. For more information about the selection process, member expectations and qualifications, visit the OHSU-Legacy and Legacy-PacificSource transaction pages.
To submit a public comment about these or any transactions under review, email hcmo.info@oha.oregon.gov, leave a voicemail at 503-945-6161, or fill out the public comment form.
