Community Advisory Council

Community Advisory Council Created to Drive Change

When the State of Oregon certified FamilyCare as a Coordinated Care Organization, we were required to organize a community advisory council (CAC). Our CAC’s key objective is to help plan and develop a community health assessment and community health improvement plan to address the needs of communities with disproportionate unmet health needs. The CAC is here to raise issues and identify areas for community outreach opportunities. They serve as a catalyst for relationship building and partnering with community-based organizations, the business community, and individuals. The CAC represents a diverse group of people including:

• FamilyCare health plan members
• Business Leaders
• Staff from Multnomah, Clackamas, & Washington Counties Health Departments
• Health Care Providers
• Educators
• Local Law Enforcement Officers
