Home Transforming Health Care Funding Streams
SHARE is a way IHN-CCO supports social determinants of health projects and programs in Benton, Lincoln and Linn counties. SHARE is a funding mechanism with specific criteria from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and must fall into the categories of economic stability, education, neighborhood and built environment, and social and community health. IHN-CCO may narrow the scope beyond the contractual requirements.

Priorities for SHARE investments are developed with the IHN-CCO Regional Community Advisory Council (CAC) and must support the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP).
IHN-CCOs 2025 spending priority set by the CAC was to supported the priority Access to Affordable Housing including all 3 goals:
Partnership decisions were made in consultation with the CAC: Existing SHARE requests were reviewed by the IHN-CCO team and presented to the CAC for approval of funding. Programs were evaluated on SHARE and CHIP priority alignment as well as need. After assessing the available funds, the CAC elected not to hold a competitive request for proposals in 2025 and to utilize SHARE funds for emergent needs presented by community partners.
IHN-CCO and the Delivery System Transformation Committee (DST) invite interested community partners in Benton, Lincoln, and Linn counties who can positively impact the health and wellbeing of IHN-CCO members to submit pilot proposals that transform the healthcare delivery system or to submit proposals to support DST committee engagement for new partners.
IHN-CCO and the DST are committed to advancing strategies for health equity as an organization and committee, but are also working to support the development, growth, and sustainability of equity-focused, transformational work throughout the region. It is with this commitment in mind that IHN-CCO and the DST strongly encourage providers, agencies, and community-based organizations working within and for marginalized communities to apply.
In alignment with the 2024-2028 Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), the DST committee has chosen the following priority areas. To be considered for funding, all proposals must address one or more of the areas below and clearly indicate how the proposed project would advance relevant CHIP goals and strategies for the chosen priority area(s). All proposals must also clearly address Inclusion, Diversity, Anti-Racism & Equity (IDARE).
