Budget deals clear path to adjournment


The Oregon Office of Rural Health is seeking nominations for the 2009 Oregon Rural Health Hero of the Year Award. The award will honor an outstanding person, program and organization that has improved the quality and availability of health care in rural communities.

"There are many hard working, dedicated people out there who have made a major impact on health care in rural Oregon," says Scott Ekblad, Director of the Oregon Office of Rural Health. "Think about nominating someone whose actions have had a notable, positive impact on the health of the community, or a successful program that other communities might want to duplicate. How about a teacher or coach with a unique approach to educating students on health care risk prevention, or a health care provider, clinic or health department that has demonstrated a unique devotion to the populations they serve?"

The 2009 Oregon Rural Health Hero will be announced at the 26th Annual Oregon Rural Health Conference, to be held November 5-7, 2009 at the Salishan Resort, 7760 Highway 101 North, Gleneden Beach, OR.

Nomination forms will be accepted June 5 through June 26, 2009 and are available here.

For more information, please contact: Linda Peppler, Oregon Office of Rural Health, 503 494-4450 or pepplerl@ohsu.edu.

It also provides time trend analysis from the 2005 Report and from the 2001 Oregon Primary Care Association report on RHCs. In addition to updates, this report provides new information not captured previously.
