Joint Response to FCC Broadband Plan
On November 12, 2009, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) sought public comment on health care delivery elements of the national broadband plan. In this Public Notice, the FCC sought "input relating to the universal service rural health care support mechanism and the Rural Health Care Pilot Program (RHCPP), specifically as such programs may assist in the deployment and adoption of broadband services".
On December 4th, 2009, the Telehealth Alliance of Oregon (TAO) and Oregon Health Network (OHN) filed a joint response to this request.

Outside In remains innovative to aid area homeless
Northwest 23rd Avenue in Portland’s Alphabet District is a familiar place for Desiree. She was born at Legacy Good Samaritan. She has worked at high-end boutiques in the trendy neighborhood. And she also fought the elements, stigma and desolation of being homeless there.
“I hid my homelessness. No one knew that I didn’t have anywhere to turn,” Desiree said. “Luckily, word-of-mouth led me to Outside In. Everyone on the streets knows it is a safe place to go.”
For more than 40 years, Outside In has been serving low-income adults and homeless youth in Portland. Their commitment to innovation, flexibility and dedication have earned them many accolades and acknowledgement both locally and nationally. Outside In also received funding commitment in July from the FCC for connection to the Oregon Health Network. The organization’s clinic will receive a high quality broadband connection to continue its service and partnership within the community.
