Community Powered Change is supported through a partnership between OHEA and the Multnomah County Health Department. This partnership between community and government is a shift in how the county engages with community and reflects increased support of equity work within the community. This work is rooted in a community health improvement plan, or CHIP. A CHIP describes the priorities, goals, solutions, and resources for health improvement. It does this using information from a community health assessment and input from community members. The Multnomah County Department of Health selected OHEA to lead this process. OHEA's leadership designed, developed, and facilitated a consensus-based, community-driven process. Community Powered Change is a project of OHEA’s Community Health Program. It is a vital part of OHEA’s vision and mission and greatly informs the coalition’s policy advocacy work.
