Vision and mission

EOCCO envisions an undivided attention to striving for a healthy community that praises the success and well-being of the individual and as a whole.

EOCCO works with providers to give you the best care we can. We will help by:

• Setting up your care
• Helping you understand your care plan after an appointment
• Reminding you about appointments
• Asking how we can help you get healthier
• Setting up care when you see more than one provider
• Suggesting you see your provider for routine care

Values

Community

EOCCO is deeply committed to building healthier communities within Eastern Oregon’s Medicaid populations. We coordinate fully with local hospitals and providers to get our members care where and when they need it.

Outcomes

In embracing the goal of advancing health of all members, EOCCO continues to work with their members on their personal healthcare needs.

In addition to working with providers to set up care, EOCCO sends reminders for appointments and routine care, coordinates care when members require multiple providers, and provides outreach that focuses on how we can help individual members get healthier.

Health Equity

EOCCO is here to ensure that all OHP members in Eastern Oregon have access to high-quality, affordable care by reducing health disparities, as well as social and financial obstacles to care.

EOCCO has adopted the Oregon Health Authority's definition of health equity, which states:

Oregon will have established a health system that creates health equity when all people can reach their full health potential and well-being and are not disadvantaged by their race, ethnicity, language, disability, age, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, social class, intersections among these communities or identities, or other socially determined circumstances.

Achieving health equity requires the ongoing collaboration of all regions and sectors of the state, including tribal governments to address:

• The equitable distribution or redistribution of resources and power; and
• Recognizing, reconciling and rectifying historical and contemporary injustices

Oregon Health Plan

The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) pays for low-income Oregonians to have healthcare. It is funded by the state of Oregon and the federal government. As part of OHP, the coordinated care model was developed. A coordinated care organization (CCO) is a group that includes all types of healthcare providers who have agreed to work together to help people who receive healthcare under the Oregon Health Plan. EOCCO is a coordinated care organization. We work together for OHP members in our community

Community Advisory Council

A Community Advisory Council (CAC) is a group of volunteers in each EOCCO county. Each CAC asks members for ideas to improve services from the EOCCO and our providers. They give us suggestions about EOCCO programs. They also organize activities that get EOCCO members involved in health issues.

The EOCCO Community Advisory Council is open to the public and public comment is encouraged. To get involved, for charters and bylaws, learn more or to share your ideas, please call GOBHI at 800-493-0040 or visit our Community Advisory Council page.
