2025-2029 State Health Improvement Plan

The State Health Improvement Plan improves the health of all people, of all ages, and all places in Oregon.

Every five years the Oregon Health Authority, Public Health Division describes the health of our state through the State Health Assessment (SHA) and develops a plan based that information called the State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP). The SHA provides a data-driven resource that describes Oregon's health related strengths as well as its leading health challenges. Learn more about the plan below.

Mission

We draw on community voices, experiences, and ideas to shape state health focus areas and solutions so that all people living in Oregon have the resources and opportunities to thrive. It is important to recognize the government-to-government relationship between the state of Oregon and the Nine Federally Recognized Tribes in honoring Tribal sovereignty and the role Tribes play in improving health in Tribal communities

Vision

Each person living in Oregon can obtain affordable, appropriate and adequate resources that they need to reach optimal health and well-being.

Data and Dashboards

Oregon's State Health Assessment and State Health Improvement Plan are designed to support the health of those who live and work in Oregon. There are two ways that Oregon identifies progress in public health goals:

• The State Population Health Indicators (SPHIs) dashboard,
  which are updated annually to show changes in health behaviors and health outcomes. These are available statewide and by county, with downloadable data at the county level and by demographic groups, when available.
• The SHIP objectives dashboard, which are measures to show change in four key objectives that demonstrate progress in the State Health Improvement Plan. This data is available at a statewide level. 
  

SHIP Collaborative

The SHIP Collaborative is a group of community members from across Oregon who will spend the next four years learning about the 2025 - 2029 State Health Improvement Plan (SHIP) and Oregon’s public health system.This group may help raise awareness of the SHIP in their communities and build connections with others in public health.
