Oregon Health Licensing Agency
OHLA professions  
The Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) is a state consumer and public protection agency overseeing regulation of multiple health and related professions.  The 70th Oregon Legislative Assembly established OHLA in 1999. 
 
Unique in structure compared to other state professional licensing and regulatory bodies, OHLA incorporates a central agency model and director rather than a single board of directors from one profession.

OHLA Volunteer Citizen Boards
OHLA volunteer citizen boards represent OHLA-regulated professions and related professions as well as consumer and public protection interests. 
 
OHLA boards provide profession-specific expertise and consultation as well as consumer and public protection viewpoints but are not directly responsible for nor have authority over agency operations, planning and performance.
