The Benson High School Health Occupations Partnership
The Partnership is a cooperative venture between the Benson High School Health Occupations
Program and the Multnomah County Health
Department, the Oregon Health & Science University
and the Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Public Health Division.
The mission of the Partnership is to actively support and enhance the Benson Health Occupations
curriculum and to share responsibility for the development of tomorrow's health workforce and its
diversification.
To help achieve this mission the Partnership is committed to sharing the resources of the
Partner agencies to augment the classroom, experiential, and community-based learning activities
of the Benson students.
In addition to helping support and develop quality education, the Partnership believes active
efforts must be made to increase student understanding of the educational and career options
open to them and to increase the availability of internship and scholarship opportunities for
the students.
Because of diverse enrollment of the Benson Program and its track record and strength, the
Partnership believes that in supporting the Program we will help make a difference in the health
of a diverse group of students, their peers, their families, and their communities.
The Partnership believes the diversification of the health workforce and the educational
programs which support its development is critical to the achievement of health and well-being
in a multicultural society.
