Action Committees
Three committees. One aligned agenda.
Each committee is industry-chaired and runs concrete programs on 60–90 day cycles. You can attend any committee as a guest before joining — no commitment required.
Build the pipeline. Close the gap.

CUSP pilot — Clinical Undergraduate Shadowing Program
LCMS (Angel Montes) and U of O Asclepiads (Dean Toole) pilot. Five students, five practices, simplified two-form compliance (HIPAA + release). Post-shadow pathways into CNA, CMA, scribe, and phlebotomy roles.
Retention Playbook
Tara Jones (Springfield Family Physicians) framework. Three pillars: reduce administrative burden, build team-based care, protect work–life balance. One-pagers feeding the September 2026 State of Healthcare.
Recruitment Resource Hub
Curated recruitment and relocation links connected to CEDO's Oregon Talent Concierge. Designed for employer recruiters to hand to candidates — printer-friendly.
Career Ready Lane support
K-12 industry-matching platform operated by Lane ESD. The committee is reinforcing the platform's visibility — not building a competing one.
Current cycle
60–90 day priorities
- 01 CUSP pilot launch — July 13
- 02 Retention Playbook one-pagers in draft
- 03 LCC MA practicum site recruitment
- 04 Expanded clinical placement at community-based (non-acute) settings
Reduce duplication. Make the system legible.

Community of Practice pilot
In coordination with Iris Bicksler and the Traditional Health Worker Collaborative. In-person, low-overhead gatherings of community health workers, care coordinators, and provider-side staff. Built on relationships, not platforms.
Shared Inventory of Resource Lists
Ally Wimberly hosts a working Google Sheet — committee members contribute resources they actually use. Two views planned: searchable online + printable for clinic use. Link will go live in Resources once it's externally shareable.
Connect Oregon / Unite Us support role
Committee role is bandwidth support for small Lane County CBOs that don't yet know the platform exists — coordinated with Trillium. We're not platform advocates; we're connectors.
Current cycle
60–90 day priorities
- 01 Community of Practice host commitments
- 02 Inventory contributions from member organizations
- 03 Behavioral health voice diversification (Chris Wig / Emergence, Chad Westfall / Looking Glass)
- 04 External-share readiness for the Inventory
One sector voice. Clear asks. Administrative burden, not deregulation.
Co-lead structure may shift — being resolved via direct outreach.
"Administrative burden" — not "deregulation." Prior authorization and credentialing are unregulated, not over-regulated. Streamline regulation lands; remove regulation doesn't. Frame adopted per Eve Gray, Lane County HHS Director.

Provider–Legislator Advocacy Connect series
Listening sessions pairing providers with state legislators. Building toward a sector-wide policy package for the 2027 long session.
State of Healthcare 2026
September 2026. Sector-wide culminating event — provider-legislator dialogue, sector priorities, year-in-review. Feeds the September 11 bill deadline.
Stakeholder Survey
CEDO-built. Captures provider type for segmentation; tests three priority topics (administrative burden, payment & economic development, wellness / flavored tobacco) against provider-level data. Equips July/August Connect sessions with one-pager data legislators can quote.
Centralized credentialing — policy lever
Rep. Nathanson's behavioral-health credentialing bill is the working template. Bills due September 11 for the 2027 long session. Group malpractice insurance pool concept under exploration with Eve Gray.
Current cycle
60–90 day priorities
- 01 Stakeholder survey deployment
- 02 Group malpractice insurance pool concept exploration
- 03 Legislator-ready content feeding the Sept 11 bill deadline
