“COMMITTMENT” IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

For some, our vision may appear lofty: to ensure that ALL Oregonians have access to the best possible healthcare regardless of location. But thanks to the FCC’s Rural Health Care Pilot Program (RHCPP), we Oregonians now have a $20.2 million dollar advantage that we’ve never had before and might never have again; enabling us to build the costly broadband foundation (connectivity, quality and affordability) required to make our vision a reality. It will take time and most likely, compromise. It will take diligence and courage. But behind it all, every OHN’s board and staff member, strategic partner and expansive volunteer driven network that has brought this unprecedented opportunity to Oregonian’s doorstep, resides a group of people committed to this vision, and OHN’s on-going success.

OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Our board is designed to represent and leverage the knowledge and viewpoints of the participants we strive to serve: hospitals, clinics, community colleges, government, payers and the businesses invested in the delivery of healthcare products and services.
