COVID-19 Community Partner Calls
Welcome! Thank you for joining us today 2
Who is this call for? • Community Based Organizations providing direct service to Oregonians. • This call is NOT for Health Care Providers, Local Public Health Authorities, public information officers or the Media. OHA has provided alternative phone calls and resources for those individuals/organizations. 3
OHA’s Acknowledgment to Community • We acknowledge there are institutional, systemic and structural barriers that perpetuate inequity that have silenced the voices of communities over time. • We are committed to partnerships, co-creation and co-ownership of solutions with communities disproportionately affected by health issues so they groups can actively participate in planning, implementing and evaluating efforts to address the COVID-19 response and other health issues. • We recognize community-engaged health improvement is a long- term and evolving process. 4
OHA’s Acknowledgment to Community • We are striving to engage with communities through deliberate, structured, emerging and best practice processes. • We are striving to make engagement with public health effective for communities, especially those communities that experience institutional, systemic and structural barriers. 5
