Oregon Health Care Association

Founded in 1950, the Oregon Health Care Association (OHCA) has dedicated over seven decades to advancing quality long-term care for seniors and individuals with disabilities across Oregon. As the state's largest long-term care trade association, we represent more than 1,000 organizations and 90% of long-term care providers, serving as a unified voice for assisted living communities, residential care facilities, post-acute care providers, and senior housing operators. Our organization actively collaborates with policymakers at all levels to shape legislation that preserves independence, choice, and dignity for care recipients while supporting providers through comprehensive educational programs and industry resources. With membership in national organizations like the American Health Care Association and Argentum, we bring national expertise to Oregon's unique care landscape. Our team delivers high-impact training initiatives, including live webinars and conferences that educate thousands of caregivers annually, while maintaining strategic partnerships to enhance service delivery.

Through our advocacy efforts, we ensure Oregon maintains its position as a national leader in long-term care standards. Our physical headquarters in Portland serves as the operational hub for member services, policy development, and industry innovation initiatives. We maintain formal affiliations with state and national regulatory bodies to ensure compliance and best practices across all care settings. Our organization's longevity and deep industry connections enable us to provide authoritative guidance on care planning, policy development, and operational excellence. By fostering collaboration between care providers, government agencies, and advocacy groups, we work to continuously improve the quality of life for Oregon's vulnerable populations.
