<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">The Oregon Health Authority’s Public Health Division is seeking feedback from interested parties throughout Oregon regarding the Statewide Health Improvement Plan. Over the past
year, the Oregon Public Health Division convened stakeholders in a collaborative process to develop this plan, titled,
<i>Oregon’s Healthy Future: A Plan for Empowering Communities - </i><a href="http://public.health.oregon.gov/PROVIDERPARTNERRESOURCES/PUBLICHEALTHACCREDITATION/Pages/HealthImprovement.aspx">http://public.health.oregon.gov/PROVIDERPARTNERRESOURCES/PUBLICHEALTHACCREDITATION/Pages/HealthImprovement.aspx</a>.
Many elements of this plan were taken from the 2010 <i>Oregon Health Improvement Plan</i>, which was developed for the Oregon Health Policy Board.
