PANOW welcomes new VP of Operations!

Welcome new staff

We are thrilled to announce that Omar Al Rais (he/him) recently joined the Project Access NOW team as Vice President of Operations.

We sat down with Omar recently to learn a little bit more about him.

Why are you excited about joining the PANOW team?

I’m excited to join PANOW in its commitment to improving communities’ health and well-being. PANOW addresses communities’ needs and closes gaps to ensure no Oregonians are left behind in accessing quality care and connecting with resources.

Joining PANOW also has personal meaning for me. As a member of an immigrant family, I have first-hand experience navigating barriers to affordable care for those most important to me.

Client story

"My husband and I started our own business in 2017. Because of this, we don't have an employer that offers health insurance for us or our kids. While we get a subsidy from the Marketplace, it still leaves us with a large premium and costs for care. Learning about PANOW was such an amazing support for our family. The program has allowed us to continue to work hard for our business and our family and not have to be concerned about medical coverage or getting care when we need it. It's allowed us to receive quality medical care that we can count on, and not leave us worrying about what might be covered or if we really should go to the doctor. The financial assistance has really given me peace of mind that we can be healthy and still provide for our family at the same time."
