2025: CLHO Local Public Health Workforce Report
CLHO’s updated Local Public Health Workforce Report provides a detailed look at staffing trends, wage data, and recruitment and retention challenges across Oregon’s 33 Local Public Health Authorities. Building on the 2021 report, this edition presents new data, identifies ongoing barriers—such as low pay and leadership turnover—and outlines actionable policy recommendations.
Developed through surveys, focus groups, and collaboration with OHA, the report supports legislative and funding efforts to build a stronger, more sustainable public health workforce.
