What is DELTA?
DELTA is a professional health equity leadership program that provides education, coaching and consultation for public health professionals, healthcare administrators, community leaders, policy makers, and clinicians committed to advancing health equity throughout Oregon.
As the healthcare landscape continues to evolve, it is more important than ever to have leaders who are grounded in the principles of Health Equity. Aligned with OHA's strategic goal to eliminate health inequities in Oregon by 2030, the DELTA program plays a crucial role in equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills to create meaningful and sustainable change.
Program objectives
- Build the capacity and commitment of Oregon's healthcare leaders to eliminate the inequities that result in health disparities.
- Develop collaborative approaches and partnerships to promote community wellness and health equity across Oregon's health systems.
- Inspire leaders to act individually and collectively as change agents to address the challenges and institutional barriers to achieving optimal health for all Oregonians.
To date, more than 200 healthcare, public health and community health leaders have gone through the program. Individuals that participate in DELTA will be equipped with the resources and skills to integrate of health equity strategies into the planning, policies, operations, and resource distribution of their own healthcare and public health settings.
