OHEA Membership Form FY23
The Oregon Health Equity Alliance (OHEA) is a POC-led collaborative, organized to center and uplift the wisdom of our communities of color through racial justice informed health equity policies and practices as part of the movement to dismantle white supremacy and shift the imbalance of power.
OHEA believes health equity is rooted in dismantling and shifting oppressive structural and systemic practices that affect individuals and communities’ ability to thrive. Health equity is achieved when every person has the opportunity, resources, power and autonomy to attain their full health potential. In order to achieve health equity, systems that sustain beliefs and behaviors rooted in the oppression of our communities based on race, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, ability, religion, immigration status, and other characteristics, must be dismantled.
OHEA offers a dues based membership for organizations wanting to deepen their health equity practices and organizational cultures. As a Regional Health Equity Coalition, we work with Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington Counties to advocate, convene, and build our knowledge center as a resource for our community partners. Membership includes access to trainings, research, policy and advocacy, and opportunity to connect with other organizations working to strengthen their racial justice centered, health equity analyses.

We seek to remove barriers to health equity through public policy.
The balance of power needs to be shifted by more directly lifting up community voice.
We believe that the developmental origins of health and disease impact our work.
Generating change requires that we build capacity in our communities.
Our approach to health is holistic and relates to social determinants.
We believe that community cohesiveness is key to fostering health.
There is great importance in supporting and organizing those actually experience disparities.

OHEA leads with race, with the recognition that the creation and perpetuation of racial inequities is and has been deeply rooted in Oregon’s history and that racial inequities are deep and pervasive.
