Our Story

We are Health Share

Health Share of Oregon serves Oregon Health Plan members in Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. We bring together health plans, providers, and community health resources so our members can access the care they need to be well.

The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is our state’s Medicaid program. It provides no-cost health coverage—including medical, dental and mental health and substance use benefits—to individuals and families who qualify. 

Community care from the ground up

Health Share of Oregon brings together health plans, providers, community organizations, and public partners to improve health and well-being across Clackamas, Multnomah, and Washington counties. Founded in 2012, Health Share serves more than 400,000 Oregon Health Plan members as the state's largest coordinated care organization.

By working together across the health care system, we help ensure members can access high-quality, coordinated care while addressing the conditions that shape health. Guided by our commitment to equity, stewardship, accountability, and partnership, we are building a health system that works better together so communities can thrive.

What we do

In addition to coordinating care and resources for members, we work with community partners in health care, education, housing, transportation, and social services to broaden health access and opportunity. Together with our partners, we are creating community based solutions that lower everyday barriers to health, like providing rides to health care appointments, offering opportunities for peer support, and more.
