The Rural Health Coordinating Council (RHCC) has a consumer position currently open. Candidates must live in a community of less than 3,500 and be a consumer (not a practitioner or in a position in the health care field). Please apply by contacting the Governor's Office of Executive Appointments.
About the RHCC
The 18-member Rural Health Coordinating Council was established by the Oregon legislature in 1979 at the same time the Office of Rural Health was created. Its purpose has historically been to advise the Office of Rural Health (ORH) in carrying out its statutory duties.
