Week Seven Takeaways

Date: November 26, 2024

Today, our public comment was posted on the OHSU-Legacy HCMO page as an open letter to the Oregon Health Authority. OHA will consider all public comments as inputs into reviewing the proposed acquisition of Legacy Health by OHSU.

As part of comprehensive review, OHA will convene a community review board. The role of the review board will be to make a recommendation about whether or not the transaction should be approved. Members can include people who live and work in Oregon and Southwest Washington (the affected communities), consumer advocates, health care experts, and providers. 

If you are not an employee and would like to participate in the community review board to evaluate this transaction, email hcmo.info@oha.oregon.gov. OHA staff will provide more information about the timeline, member requirements, and application process. Please pass this along to anyone who you think may be interested in participating.
