About CCO Oregon
Over the past two years CCO Oregon has hosted a series of lunches, breakfasts and forums around the state. CCO Oregon collaborates with CCOs, CCO members, consumers, providers and other health reform advocates to share information, network, explore best practices, and coordinate with state effort to improve health outcomes and reduce the cost curve. Over the next few months, we'll be working to connect CCOs and Consumer Advisory Committees with each other, host "best practices" conference calls, and share up to the minute information on CCO meetings, actions and activities.
Funding
CCO Oregon is funded through the events it holds throughout the state. Over a dozen local Oregon organizations have contributed funding to CCO Oregon in the past 12 months. CCO Oregon does not contribute money to any politician, lobbyist or any other advocacy group. CCO Oregon invites all CCOs and related organizations in Oregon to sponsor its events, serve on its advisory panel, and enjoy all the benefits of CCO Oregon.
Governance
Organizational direction at CCO Oregon is led by its Steering Committee. Steering Committee members represent organizations that have contributed to the initial CCO Oregon events, which provided seed money through which the organization could develop.
