About Us

We are a non-profit membership organization founded in 1984. OPCA members represent Community Health Centers (also knows as Federally Qualified Health Centers or FQHCs), organizations working towards improving access to health care services for caring individuals.

Since its founding, OPCA has been a voice in Oregon and nationally for assuring the availability and accessibility of high-quality primary care services for low-income and other vulnerable populations. The organization is an advocate for adequate reimbursement for Health Centers and actively represents its members in policy decisions at the state and federal levels.
