Hello, OHA.
In my first weekly message I am pleased to be able to talk about the face-to-face meetings with agency leadership that started today. Leslie Clement, chief of policy, Linda Hammond, interim chief operating officer and I met with staff from the Office of Equity and Inclusion, Transformation Center, Office of Analytics and other parts of the agency.
We had a great discussion and I was able to share our very clear mission in the days, weeks and months to come. It’s simple really: keep moving forward. Keep moving forward on health system transformation. Keep moving forward on improving community mental health services. Keep moving forward on the improvements that are happening in Public Health, Oregon State Hospital, and across the agency.
We have a depth of experience and knowledge at OHA. I know we have what it takes to pick up the batons that have been handed to us.
And I also know that the core values we established when this agency was founded will continue to be our foundation. As we move forward into the next phase of OHA, we have new posters and other materials that highlight the core values and our goals of better health, better care, lower costs.
You will start to see the posters hanging across all parts of the agency next week and you can also download and print smaller versions here. I hope you will join us at one of the upcoming face-to-face meetings. I look forward to meeting you, answering your questions, and learning more about how you use the core values in your work every day.
