Yamhill Community Care (YCCO) is one of 16 coordinated care organizations (CCOs) in Oregon that manage care and provide resources for members on the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), the state's Medicaid system, serving those experiencing poverty. OHP is a unique Medicaid model which assigns members a CCO, providing a designated primary care provider, services to manage health, and other benefits designed to address the whole person. YCCO has a community-based governing committee, the Community Advisory Council, composed of YCCO members and their family. YCCO is also advised by other local stakeholder committees to inform its decisions. YCCO has an Early Learning Hub focusing on strengthening families, coordinating and aligning services, and improving school readiness. The VISTA member will work with YCCO, its various committees, community-based organizations and county services to help coordinate the best care possible, as well as create and monitor programs that address poverty. YCCO offices are in McMinnville, Oregon. McMinnville is a town of around 33,000 nestled in the heart of wine country, and home to Linfield College. McMinnville is an hour from Portland, an hour from the coast, three hours from Mount Hood, and surrounded by gorgeous hiking and sightseeing opportunities. The OHA AmeriCorps VISTA Partnership Project is committed to building a diverse workforce to strengthen our work in Oregon communities. We value applicants who can bring lived experience to further OHA’s strategic goal to eliminate health inequities by 2030.
