At UCAN, we recognize the profound impact that non-medical factors, often referred to as social determinants of health, have on the overall well-being of individuals and communities nationwide.

We are further sharpening our focus on improving local health through two initiatives. We are now a provider of Medicaid 1115 Waiver Health Related Social Needs Services (HRSN). By participating in Oregon’s waiver, we are able to offer more of the services we are known for, like rental assistance, while adding new services such as installation of wheelchair ramps and more. We are also currently offering Healthy Homes services through funding from the Oregon Health Authority. This funding allows us to improve indoor air quality by offering air purifiers and filters. These efforts can directly reduce the incidence of asthma and other chronic conditions.
