HCAO is a statewide coalition of volunteers, advocates, and over 60 member organizations working together to bring universal health care to Oregon. We do this through community education, grassroots organizing, and direct engagement in the legislative process.
We believe health care is a right, not a privilege, and that Oregon can be the first state in the nation to make that a reality.
Volunteers & advocates statewide
As a human right, health care must be accessible to everyone, without exception.
Health, wealth, employment, age, race, gender, immigration status, and other factors should not result in any barriers to health care.
The health care system must be accountable to the people it serves. It must improve individual and population health and provide means to uphold and enforce human rights standards in care.
The health care system must be open with regard to information, decision-making, and management.
The health care system must enable meaningful public participation in all decisions affecting people's right to health care.
Health care is a fundamental element of a just society. It must not be rationed by cost as a commodity in private markets, but be secured to the people on an equitable basis by public means, similar to education, public safety, and public utilities.
Ensures comprehensive, high-quality health care to all — no exceptions, no gaps, no one left out.
Provides care based on patients' needs rather than the bottom line of insurance companies.
Focuses on prevention, effective treatment, and improved health outcomes for every community in Oregon.
Publicly financed, directing resources to medical care and cutting the administrative waste that drives up costs.
Our small but mighty staff handle the day-to-day work of maintaining our organization and building this movement.
HCAO is governed by a volunteer board of dedicated advocates from across Oregon.
Chapters are rooted in their local communities, growing HCAO's volunteer base through outreach, social events, local advocacy, and fundraising. They're also a great place to meet neighbors and make friends!
Nonprofits, unions, faith communities, and civic groups that have formally committed to helping achieve HCAO's mission of securing universal healthcare in Oregon. Member organizations shape our priorities and amplify our collective voice.
