Or. Admin. Code § 950-020-0000 - Purpose

(1) These rules establish uniform standards for Regional Health Equity Coalitions (RHECs) and support alignment to the RHEC model. The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is a funding partner for Regional Health Equity Coalitions.

(2) The RHECs act as a link between diverse communities and OHA to better ensure community needs are identified and met so that health inequities, institutional racism, and discrimination can be addressed. The RHECs foster equity and mitigate harm in policy development and implementation by providing recommendations and guidance to OHA on policy concept.
