What We Do

There is no substitute for collaboration – people coming together in common purpose, supporting one another so an entire community benefits. Our common purpose, to improve the health and health care of those who live, work and play in Southern Oregon, creates opportunities for collaborative learning and collective action. With the support of its diverse members, partners and sponsors, Jefferson Regional Health Alliance exists to raise awareness of community health issues, promote best practices and work toward healthcare transformation.

Strategies

1. Foster communication, collaboration and interconnectedness between organizations and individuals

Provide a neutral space for shared learning and dialogue
Facilitate relationships that build trust and cooperation
Convene and help organize the health and healthcare community

2. Hold a collective vision of community health

Identify health challenges we can best tackle collectively; Focus on service gaps and region-wide problems
Engage issues that impact health, including the social determinants of health, from a broad community perspective

3. Cause things to happen, rather than make things happen

Be a catalyst for change
Be an incubator; Help find and leverage resources to support projects and initiatives that respond to community needs
Employ the power of a collective community voice for advocacy

Current Priorities

Rural Health Transformation Program
Childcare
Primary Care
Behavioral Health (including substance use disorder)

Workforce development is a common thread across all four priorities.

Medicaid Changes (H.R. 1)

New federal rules are changing how Oregonians keep their Oregon Health Plan coverage, starting in January 2027. JRHA co-facilitates a regional workgroup helping people across Jackson and Josephine counties stay covered.
