COMMUNITY ADVISORY COUNCIL
Community Advisory Council
Purpose: The Community Advisory Council (CAC) advises the Marion-Polk CCO on how to be responsive to Oregon Health Plan member and community health needs.
Core Responsibilities:
- Foster meaningful engagement of Oregon Health Plan members to continuously improve the Marion-Polk CCO member experience.
- Help develop the Marion-Polk Community Health Assessment and implement the Marion-Polk Community Health Improvement Plan.
- Make recommendations to the Willamette Health Council Board of Directors on investments related to the social determinants of health and equity.
2023 Priorities:
- Foster greater CAC engagement in the Community Health Assessment and Community Health Improvement Plan regional work.
- Host community engagement sessions to strengthen CAC awareness of local community health needs/priorities and educate the community about the CAC.
- Refine the CAC’s approach to making social determinants of health and equity spending recommendations/decisions.
The CAC acts as the voice for Oregon Health Plan members in the Marion-Polk region. Through an application process, members are selected on a rolling basis by the Willamette Health Council’s CAC Selection Committee. Members are appointed for a two-year term.
The Willamette Health Council provides stipends for Oregon Health Plan members who are CAC voting members. The rate is $25 per hour per meeting. Mileage reimbursement for travel to/from meetings is reimbursed at $0.625 per mile for the driver only.
