Community Health Excellence
PacificSource Program Promotes High Quality Care for All
Playing a role in patient care improvements and having a positive impact on community health is important to us here at PacificSource. So we’re excited about a new program called Community Health Excellence (CHE), which we launched in early 2009.
Through this program, PacificSource makes financial and other contributions toward initiatives that are independently evaluated as having a significant impact for patients, regardless of their insurance status.
In addition to meeting certain basic criteria, providers must:
- submit an application and detailed budget,
- demonstrate clear objectives supported by measurable data to evaluate progress toward the project’s goals and expectations, and
- ensure the proposal will benefit all the provider’s patients—not just PacificSource members.
2009 CHE Program Recipients
The following seven medical groups and hospitals joined PacificSource in the initiative and have begun a variety of quality and patient care improvements throughout Oregon and Idaho. See more details about the projects.
- Northwest Specialty Clinics – Eugene
- Oregon Neurology Associates – Eugene
- Women’s Care – Eugene
- Oregon Medical Group – Eugene
- St. Charles Medical Center – Bend
- High Lakes Health Care – Bend
- Treasure Valley Pediatrics – Boise
