Community Health Priorities is a partnership between three organizations – the Oregon Public Health Division, the Oregon Health Policy Commission, and the Northwest Health Foundation.

We are also working closely with a variety of other groups and individuals concerned with improving the public's health. We want to stimulate public conversation about health in our communities.

Each of the sponsoring partners is making a significant investment toward this goal. We are working together to gather, analyze, and make available a rich bank of knowledge and to make sure it is applied to help turn the health priorities of Oregonians into real actions that improve lives.

View a Power Point about the Project

The project began with a look at the past. Oregon has a rich history of citizen involvement in public health and citizen engagement. Some of the programs and policies that resulted from these efforts were successful while others were not.

The entire first phase of this project was devoted to understanding where prior public engagement efforts did – and did not – work. We are interested in concrete outcomes, both positive and negative, and the approaches that hindered or encouraged these approaches.
