BACKGROUND
SHARE: Supporting Health for All through Reinvestment
- SHARE is a program that allows CCOs to reinvest funds in their communities to address health inequities and SDOH-E.
- Requirements intend to increase strategic, community-aligned SDOH-E spending, as well as the tracking and transparency on spending.
SHARE Primary Goals:
- Safeguard public dollars by requiring a portion of CCO profits be reinvested in their communities.

- Requirement 2: Spending priorities must align with community priorities from Community Health Improvement Plans (CHPs).
- Identify common health outcomes/common priority populations.
The CHIP priorities are as follows:
Housing | Food and Nutrition | Infants and Children
Mental Health and Substance Abuse | Emergency Preparedness | Access to Healthcare | Transportation

2. Traditional Health Worker Scholarship & Grant-CLOSED
BACKGROUND
Yamhill Community Care is accepting requests from organizations and entities in Yamhill, Polk, and Washington counties to support partners who recognize the need to build capacity both by increasing the number of certified THWs, and by increasing desire and commitment among THWs to pursue additional formal education to be on the OHA’s registry.
Traditional Health Workers (doula, peer support specialist, peer wellness specialist, community health worker, personal health navigator), play a unique role in the care delivery system, often assisting in bridging and closing gaps that traditionally require understanding and working at the root causes of health outcomes.

This grant/scholarship will prioritize funding support in the following areas: Grant amounts range from $100 to $5,000.
- Supervisory and Mentorship Training.
- THW Training and Certification for racial or ethnic minorities, and individuals serving high needs/ at-risk populations (increase diversity and representation of the number of certified doulas, peer support specialists, peer wellness specialists, community health workers, personal/patient health navigators to be on OHA’s registry).
- Program Expansion and Capacity Building. Preference will be given to applicants with a proven record of providing solutions to underserved regions, and vulnerable populations using traditional health workers particularly, 501(c)(3) organizations (example: addition of health promotion classes, etc.)
- Continue education, conferences, or other training relevant to scope of practice.
- Development and improvement of health information technology related to needs assessment and coordination of social needs and referral* (investment in health information technology (HIT) and/or technical assistance for workflow for needs identification and care coordination.
- Nonmonetary technical assistance for quality improvement and structuring of delivery and execution of THW programing.
- Coordinating efforts to support members through the redetermination process.
