Healthier Together Oregon (HTO), the State Health Improvement Plan, is a transformative initiative that envisions an Oregon where every resident can thrive. HTO has developed a comprehensive plan with clear strategies to address health disparities, foster collaboration, and achieve health equity throughout the state.
At FACT Oregon, we focus on empowering families and individuals with disabilities. Like HTO, we strive to provide the necessary resources and support for everyone to thrive.
Collaboration and Community-led Initiatives
Promoting community-led initiatives is one of HTO's key strategies, which aligns with FACT Oregon's approach. We actively engage with families and community partners to provide support and training for families experiencing disability. By fostering collaboration and meaningful connections, FACT Oregon ensures that the voices and needs of individuals with disabilities and their families are heard, valued, and integrated into decision-making processes.
Navigating Complex Systems and Barriers
Disabilities often come with complex challenges, from navigating educational systems to accessing appropriate services. Through our disability-focused programs and support line, FACT Oregon empowers families to navigate challenges and access inclusive opportunities. We provide comprehensive training, one-on-one support, and valuable resources to help families advocate for their children's rights and navigate complex systems. Creating spaces for sharing experiences, building connections, and amplifying voices, FACT Oregon actively contributes to HTO's priority of increasing access to services.
Improving Health Outcomes for Individuals with Disabilities
FACT Oregon's work also aligns with HTO's goal of improving health outcomes. We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with disabilities, including barriers to healthcare, education, and community resources. Through our programs, we tirelessly work to ensure access to these essential services.
Celebrating Self-Determination
Self-determination for individuals experiencing disability is central to FACT Oregon's commitment and aligns with HTO's strategy of engaging individuals and communities in decision-making processes. By providing families with knowledge, tools, and support, we empower families and individuals with disabilities to actively participate in shaping their unique journeys and advocating for their rights. This active involvement perfectly aligns with HTO's goal of inclusive decision-making.
Measuring Impact and Progress
As an organization committed to making a difference in the lives of families and individuals experiencing disability, FACT Oregon continually measures its impact and progress. By aligning our goals with HTO's comprehensive plan, we ensure that our efforts contribute effectively to the overall vision of a healthier and more equitable Oregon. By tracking outcomes and making data-driven decisions, we actively participate in the shared responsibility of achieving HTO's transformative initiative.
In conclusion, FACT Oregon's vision and work seamlessly align with the strategies outlined in the HTO plan. Through our dedication to fostering collaboration, promoting equity, and empowering families and individuals with disabilities, we contribute to building a healthier Oregon. Our impact is deeply felt in the lives of countless families who benefit from our support and resources.
