Honoring the Diversity of People Living in Oregon
To advance health equity, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) established a strategic goal to eliminate health inequities by 2030. A critical component to meeting this goal is ensuring meaningful access to services for everyone in Oregon, regardless of:
Their race, ethnicity, language or disability (REALD); or Their sexual orientation or gender identity (SOGI).
REALD and SOGI both help to reveal the diversity of the people living in Oregon. This helps us:
- Identify and address health disparities, and
- Support data justice in communities most affected by health disparities. Learn more in the data justice overview (March 2022).
