What We Do
The Central Oregon Health Council was created to improve the well-being of all residents across Central Oregon.
The Operations Council serves as a place to coordinate collective efforts among the Central Oregon Health Council’s community partners, committees, workgroups, community members and the Board of Directors.
The Operations Council will address and actively support:
- Regional efforts advancing the shared mission and vision of the Central Oregon Health Council
- Regional issues escalated from the committees, workgroups, and community partners
- Broad, cross-sectoral, regional initiatives
Responsibilities
- Communicate information within their organization, partner organizations and communities
- Provide individual, community and organizational support of agreed upon initiatives and workplans
Request for Support
We do not provide financial funding.
