Oregon’s 2025 Cancer Plan: Working Together to Fight Cancer
The 2025 Oregon State Cancer Plan (“the Plan”) was developed through a partnership between the Knight Cancer Institute’s Community Outreach and Engagement at Oregon Health Science University and the Oregon Health Authority-Public Health Division’s Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Section.
The Plan provides information for reducing the impact of cancer in Oregon. It will help guide cancer-related work across the state, including the work of the Oregon Cancer Coalition which brings together organizations and individuals to improve cancer prevention, screening, treatment and support statewide.

Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention: 2017 – 2025 Strategic Plan
The Health Promotion
and Chronic Disease Prevention section (HPCDP) of the Oregon Health
Authority-Public Health Division created this 2017-2025 HPCDP strategic plan to
establish clear goals, strategies and objectives to reduce chronic disease and
the burden it places on people, communities and the economy.
To reduce the number
of people in our state who have risk factors for chronic disease, we must
broaden the focus from changing individual behavior to making our communities
healthier for everyone. By increasing opportunities for everyone to be
healthful in the places where we live, work, learn, play and age, we can reduce
the prevalence of risk factors and of chronic diseases; lessen the stigma of
living with them; and make a long, healthful life available to every Oregonian.
This strategic plan devises strategies that aim to reduce risk factors in two
overarching ways:
- Increasing Oregonians’ access to the option they need to live healthful lives
- Decrease the availability and excessive marketing of harmful products
