Oregon Community Health Centers Eligible for $2.8 Million in Health Coverage Outreach and Enrollment Grants Durham, Ore. – The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced last week that 29 federally qualified Oregon community health centers would be eligible for an additional $2.8 million in outreach and enrollment grants to connect residents to Cover Oregon, the new online marketplace where Oregonians can compare and enroll in health coverage, set to open later this year.

“We are going to need all hands on deck to raise awareness about and get Oregonians enrolled in health coverage through Cover Oregon,” said Howard “Rocky” King, executive director for Cover Oregon. “Community health centers are a critical part of our outreach efforts and are trusted health care resources in their communities.”

Community health centers that are eligible for the grant (listed below) must submit applications to the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) by May 31, 2013 in order to be considered for the grant.
