OPCA's Poly-Substance
Use Disorder Workgroup
We are transforming primary care in Oregon by integrating treatment for substance use disorder, HIV, and STIs—centered on people impacted by the carceral system and served by FQHCs—through statewide collaboration, expanded access, and a shared commitment to treating addiction as a chronic disease.
The workgroup is open to representatives from Oregon’s FQHCs and from Oregon Health Authority. Membership is open, with a goal of representation across geography, roles, and populations served.

Northwest Community Health AI Summit
by the NWRPCA
| |
This 2-day, in-person summit is designed specifically for CHC teams to:
- Understand real-world AI use cases across clinical care, operations, and population health.
- Develop a practical approach to AI adoption and integration.
- Navigate emerging policy, compliance, and governance considerations.
- Address workforce implications—including staff concerns and role evolution.
- Engage directly with AI/technology vendors to explore solutions aligned with CHC needs
AI is no longer a future consideration, it is rapidly reshaping how care is delivered, managed, and financed.

Understanding Person-Centered Wound Care
by Portland Street Medicine
| | |
Four Virtual Trainings
June through December 2026
| | |
The Community Health Education (CHE) team at PSM is excited to announce four virtual trainings for Understanding Person-Centered Wound Care, and invite you to drop in to our new Street Medicine & Wound Care Support Office Hours.
Created by experienced Street Medicine clinicians alongside peers with lived experience of houselessness, drug use, and infection, Understanding Person Centered Wound Care is designed to make wound care approachable, practical, and human. We believe wound care doesn’t have to feel scary or intimidating—because anybody can change a dressing, and anybody can learn wound care.
