WVP Health Foundation has been a recipient of
Cares Grant
A Federal CARES grant to support the expansion of Peer Delivered services in Marion and Polk county for the underserved population. This included expansion of after hours access to culturally sensitive peers for community members impacted by the shut-downs of health and social services during the pandemic to reduce relapse, substance misuse and suicidal ideation.
Measure 110 Grant
A Measure 110 grant from Oregon Health Authority to expand Peer delivered services to community members seeking peer services to access substance use disorder services irrespective of their ability to pay or coverage by insurance. The Peer’s made themselves available to law enforcement as an option for community members seeking substance use disorder treatment in place of criminal charges.
WVP Health Foundation seeks out grant opportunities which speak to our unique strength as a bridge across many disparate factors in the health care community in Oregon’s Willamette Valley, thereby ensuring the ongoing ability to develop, implement, and evaluate innovative new health care delivery systems and transformative quality improvement ideas that require coordination across providers, health organizations, and communities for success.
WVP Health Foundation aims to 1) improve coordination of care across patients’ entire care team, 2) increase patient knowledge of, and engagement, in their treatment and health care options, and 3) explore alternative payment models that can better align incentives among patients, providers, and insurers.
