Coalitions and Councils

Lane County CCO Community Advisory Council

Lane County has two Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs), PacificSource Community Solutions and Trillium Community Health Plan, who work together to coordinate healthcare for individuals covered under the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). The Lane County CCO Community Advisory Council (CAC) is a consumer-led effort focused on:

  • Finding ways to make healthcare better
  • Guiding a Community Health Assessment and adopting a Community Health Improvement Plan
  • Supporting the use of equity practices, such as making sure all people are treated fairly
  • Sharing resources and information with communities in Lane County
  • Helping  decide how community investment funds are spent

The CAC includes OHP members from both CCOs and representatives from education, public health, and community based organizations who serve Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members. Lane County’s CCO Prevention staff provide support to the CAC and their respective workgroup and committees: Prevention Workgroup, Rural Advisory Committee, Member Engagement Committee, and Health Equity Committee. These focused groups assist the CAC in meeting the objectives laid out in the Community Health Improvement Plan and support coordinated efforts to address health disparities among CCO members.

Do you want to share your advice to make healthcare better? Contact Kayla Watford to learn more about available opportunities.
