Serving our Partners: Government
THINKING AS ONE vs THINKING IN SILOS
OHN is about leveraging existing and expanding thought leadership, technology, support services and relationships to - together - improve the quality, delivery and access to quality healthcare, regardless of location.
Therefore, the development of innovative strategic partnerships is as critical to the value and viability of OHN as the broadband infrastructure we're building from.
Our valued state and federal key stakeholders are critical to us effectively serving our vision. Take a look at our RESOURCES page to see the growing list of state and federal agencies that have already extended a hand in financially supporting OHN, but also in working with us to leverage a state-wide network that works effectively across all agencies and all county lines.

FCC Seeks Public Comment for Changes to National Broadband Plan
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced it is making changes to the National Broadband Plan, which is designed to assist thousands of health providers at hospitals and clinics in the U.S. who lack adequate broadband access and capability. The announcement, made July 15, begins a 30-day open window for public comment. Comments can be sent to: Federal Communications Commission, 445 12th Street SW; Washington, DC 20554 or via email, fccinfo@fcc.gov.

Updates to the FCC’s National Broadband Plan include the development of a permanent $400 million fund to further broadband infrastructure and build out of health information capabilities in rural areas. This financial support is an additional funding opportunity, outside of the current Rural Health Care Pilot Program (RHCPP) of which Oregon Health Network (OHN) manages for the state, and the standard Rural Health Care Program (RHC).
