Local Public Health in Oregon
Oregon’s public health system is a network of people and organizations working together to promote, support, and improve health across the state. Our public health system includes state, local, and tribal health departments working in collaboration with community-based organizations, hospitals and clinics, educators, and many others who work side-by-side with communities to keep people safe and healthy.
