What is OHPAC?
OHPAC is the Oregon Hospital Political Action Committee. Founded in 1982, OHPAC is a non-profit, non-partisan, membership-based organization. Our mission is to help elected officials and candidates understand the importance of maintaining a strong community-based hospital and health care system in Oregon.
OHPAC seeks to foster a common understanding of the important roles Oregon hospitals and health systems play, both as community health advocates and as essential employers within the communities they serve.
OHPAC members provide grassroots and financial help to legislative candidates and office holders who demonstrate a commitment to Oregon’s community hospital system. |
