Welcome to the
Oregon Primary Care Association
The Oregon Primary Care Association (OPCA) is a non-profit membership association for the state’s federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and look-alikes. We generate data-driven insights into operational challenges, shape evolving health policy, and provide technical assistance to community health centers to achieve health equity for Oregonians.
Our members deliver integrated primary care, including dental and behavioral health services, to over 430,000 Oregonians. In addition to providing integrated primary care, health centers work to help patients improve the circumstances of their lives and develop healthy behaviors, through services like job training, literacy education, and connection to resources for affordable housing and healthy food.
Leading the transformation of primary care to achieve health equity for all.

Emergency Management Planning
Prepare Today
Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA) requires community health centers to create and maintain an Emergency Management Plan to address these four critical areas:
- Mitigation
- Preparedness
- Response
- Recovery
To assist community health centers with this requirement, OPCA has developed a template to guide you through the process.
