Governor Tina Kotek and OHA are looking for qualified candidates to fill two vacant seats on the Oregon Health Policy Board (OHPB)—a nine-member board that oversees OHA and is responsible for improving Oregon’s health care delivery system as well as improving the health of Oregonians by developing state public health goals, strategies, programs, and performance standards. Per Oregon law, the two vacant seats must be filled by members of the public who do not work in health care or a related industry, and who are not current or former employees of government entities that provide state benefits such as Public Employee Benefit Board (PEBB) insurance.  Also, while all eligible applicants will be considered, the state is focused on applicants 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; Community-Based Organizations; Oregon Health Plan (OHP) member and/or consumer advocate; Small business owner.  OHPB members serve four-year terms and meet the first Tuesday of each month, 8:30 a.m. to noon. Most meetings allow hybrid (virtual/in-person) participation, but occasionally the board meets in each of Oregon’s six congressional districts, where in-person attendance is strongly encouraged. (OHPB members are eligible for travel reimbursement.)  Applications are due May 23.
