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
In September 2012, the leading health care organizations serving Oregon Health Plan members in Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington counties joined forces to form Health Share of Oregon. With more than 400,000 members, Health Share is Oregon’s largest coordinated care organization (CCO).
Over the years, we have progressed strategically. We’ve invested in administrative efficiency, community engagement, and strategy to build a strong foundation—while staying focused on addressing the triple aim of better care, healthier people, and smarter health care spending.

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.
