Who We Are:
The Oregon Primary Care Association (OPCA) is the voice of Oregon’s Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), who deliver integrated medical, dental, and behavioral health services to nearly 400,000 Oregonians at more than 270 locations statewide. OPCA helps our members navigate state and federal policy, facilitates peer-to-peer learning, supports workforce development programs, and utilizes data-driven approaches to payment reform to further community-based health system transformation and health equity for all.
OPCA leads efforts to collect and interpret large data sets so that FQHCs can maximize their impact. For example, OPCA breaks down UDS data by legislative districts, allowing elected officials to better understand the impact of FQHCs on their communities. Data is also essential in value-based payment programs. In 2013, with the OHA, Oregon was the first in the nation to implement an Alternative Payment and Advanced Care Model (APCM) for FQHCs, and our clinically integrated network launched an Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) in October 2023.
OPCA celebrates both individual contributions and powerful teamwork. We thrive on innovation and collaboration. We support one another as healthy human beings who balance work with the rest of life. Our goal is to elevate and make space for candidates of color and other diverse communities in our hiring practices. Join our team as we lead the community health center movement with passion, vision and courage.
