Your New Role – Director, Oregon Health Authority (OHA)!
The Director of OHA is responsible for providing organizational leadership, accountability, and direction for the Oregon Health Authority through the framework established by the Governor, the state legislature, and the Oregon Health Policy Board (OHPB). The Oregon Health Authority includes a combined scope of health responsibilities that is largely unique among state health agencies – it encompasses public health, Oregon’s Medicaid program, health policy, public employee and educator benefit boards, behavioral health, and the state psychiatric hospital. The incumbent is responsible for ensuring that OHA fulfills its mission to promote optimal health and well-being for every person in Oregon, achieves its goal to eliminate health inequity and effectively performs its health protection, promotion, policy development, regulatory and funding roles. Additionally, the Director of OHA provides health policy recommendations to the Governor and represents the agency in state, regional and national settings, including interactions with the state and federal policymakers, media, and partner organizations. This position has a public role to raise awareness about health issues and solutions and ensure OHA is responsive and transparent to communities statewide.
To fulfill OHA’s vision and mission, the agency is developing a strategic plan with a single overarching goal: to eliminate health inequities in Oregon by 2030. The Oregon Health Policy Board and OHA have adopted the following definition of Health Equity:
Oregon will have established a health system that creates health equity when all people can reach their full potential and well-being and are not disadvantaged by their race, ethnicity, language, disability, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social class, intersections among these communities or identities, or other socially determined circumstances.
Achieving health equity requires the ongoing collaboration of all regions and sectors of the state, including tribal governments to address:
-
The equitable distribution or redistribution of resources and power; and
-
Recognizing, reconciling, and rectifying historical and contemporary injustices.
