ABOUT UMPQUA HEALTH
Umpqua Health is deeply rooted in Douglas County. We are proud to call the Umpqua Valley our home. Our integrated network of skilled local providers delivers high quality healthcare for Douglas County residents. Umpqua Health also works closely with community partners to evaluate ongoing healthcare needs and issues, while collaborating on local solutions.
Our subsidiary, the Umpqua Health Alliance (UHA), is one of 16 coordinated care organizations (CCOs) in Oregon that has served members of the Oregon Health Plan since 2012. UHA connects more than 40,000 Douglas County OHP members to physical, behavioral, oral, and dental care through an integrated network of providers. UHA is managed through a locally-based board of directors and Community Advisory Council that ensures local healthcare needs are fully met.
Umpqua Health also operates a clinic Umpqua Health – Newton Creek, in Douglas County that offers expert pediatric and adult primary care, urgent care, and behavioral health services. All major insurance is accepted, in addition to Medicare and OHP.

OREGON: A NATIONAL MODEL FOR HEALTH CARE TRANSFORMATION
Long before the 2010 Affordable Care Act mandated reforms to the U.S. health care system, our state was leading the nation in providing quality, patient-centered care in our communities through its Medicaid program, the Oregon Health Plan, which was established in 1993.
In 2012, Oregon’s Health Plan received a federal waiver to evolve to a coordinated care organization (CCO) model, which is a new way to deliver care through the integration of physical, mental and dental health services, as well as providing financial incentives for performance.
We have a thorough understanding of local health issues, which is our foundation for providing comprehensive, wraparound care and transforming health care from the ground up. We accomplish this by focusing on breaking down barriers, increasing access to care, and preventing illness and disease through innovative programs to keep members healthy and manage existing health conditions. For example, CCOs like ours have collectively helped decrease inappropriate emergency department visits by 50 percent statewide since 2011.
Since the inception of CCOs, Oregon’s community-based model has proven to be successful in providing quality care and improving health outcomes for patients while reducing costs through effective management strategies. In short, we provide the right care in the right place at the right time.
