Healthy Rural Oregon Celebrates One Year!

The Oregon Office of Rural Health (ORH) and CLHO recently concluded the first year of a three-year award from HRSA’s Rural Public Health Workforce Training Network grant. The funded project, called the Healthy Rural Oregon (HRO) program, aims to grow the public health and healthcare workforce in rural Oregon by training, engaging, and supporting the employment of community health workers (CHWs) and community EMT/paramedics (CPs) in both core and supplemental skill sets that meet rural communities’ needs.
