What it reported doing in 2025

The Healthier Oregon program provides outreach, education, and enrollment assistance to help eligible individuals and families apply for and navigate the Oregon Health Plan (OHP). Through this program, Oregon L.E.A.D. assists community members with understanding eligibility requirements, completing applications, and accessing healthcare coverage and related health services. This program is supported by a two-year grant totaling $100,000, with $50,000 allocated annually. During the reporting year, the program was staffed by one employee at 0.8 full-time equivalent (FTE), who was responsible for delivering direct enrollment assistance, conducting community outreach, and coordinating program services. Program activities included conducting community workshops, participating in outreach events, and providing one-on-one assistance to individuals and families navigating the Oregon Health Plan enrollment process. These efforts increased access to healthcare coverage and improved understanding of available health resources within underserved communities. During the year, the program continued to expand outreach efforts and strengthen community engagement to reduce barriers to healthcare access and improve enrollment outcomes.
