Receiving care that reflects your community and culture can make all the difference.

As part of National Minority Health Month, we’re highlighting the everyday factors that support healthier communities.

We partner with the Greater NW Community Health Collective to invest in Community Health Worker (CHW) training programs that prepare BIPOC and Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members to serve their own communities. Program graduates provide health education, connect people to vital services, and volunteer at health fairs and mobile clinics – helping build trust and improve access to care.

We’re proud to welcome Portland Opportunities Industrialization Center (POIC) as our CareOregon Grand Floral Starlight Parade community partner! 🤩

“POIC embodies the spirit of imagination and opportunity that this year’s parade is all about,” said Eric C. Hunter, President and CEO of CareOregon. “For nearly sixty years, they’ve created pathways to education and employment. Their work strengthens families, opens doors for young people and builds healthier, more connected communities. We couldn’t ask for a better partner to help us celebrate what it means to ‘Dream Big!’ together here in Portland.”

POIC will celebrate with us on June 6 in downtown Portland with a float of their own, featuring dedicated scouts on the lookout for something big. 👀✨

Dream big with us at the 2026 CareOregon Grand Floral Starlight Parade! 🌹🌟

We’re excited to share this year’s float theme “Dream Big!” brought to life by an iconic Pacific Northwest figure – Bigfoot. A symbol of imagination and limitless possibility, Bigfoot reflects our belief that dreaming big is for everyone, always.

As we celebrate our fifth year as title sponsor, our theme represents what it means to dream big in health care. That includes dreaming of healthier futures by breaking down barriers to health care access, building stronger communities and expanding opportunities so everyone can live healthier lives.

✨ Join us in downtown Portland on June 6 at the CareOregon Grand Floral Starlight Parade as we march forward with a shared dream of a world where access to high-quality health care is for absolutely everyone.

We were honored to serve as luminary sponsor of the 2026 Culture of Caring Gala, celebrating 45 years of Cascadia Health and the power of community-driven whole-person care.

We’re especially proud to celebrate this year’s honoree, CareOregon’s own Leslie Ford. Leslie is a visionary leader who has catalyzed integrated care across Oregon. Through her leadership as founding CEO of Cascadia Health and her work advancing affordable housing at CareOregon, Leslie has shown us what’s possible when care extends beyond the clinic.

This National Minority Health Month, we’re highlighting the everyday factors that shape health and well-being so communities can flourish.

For many families, staying healthy relies on having a community and support they can count on. In Rockwood, we support partners that provide mentorship, safe spaces and access to everyday resources.

“It takes much more than a doctor's appointment to stay healthy. Health starts in the community. It starts by waking up and knowing you have places and people to go to when you need help. That's what we work to build with our community partners. This is the heart of health.” said CareOregon’s Director of Community Impact, Shawn DeCarlo.
