Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP): Rural Health Access and Social Supports

Washington County is seeking proposals to advance rural health access and social supports through its Community Health Improvement Plan, targeting underserved areas where residents face significant barriers to healthcare, transportation, and essential services. The county, home to numerous Medically Underserved Populations designated by HRSA, aims to strengthen partnerships with community organizations to improve health outcomes in small towns, farms, and both incorporated and unincorporated rural communities. This initiative focuses on addressing systemic gaps in primary care access and social determinants of health that disproportionately affect these populations. The solicitation, numbered 2026.065-RFP, was posted on July 16, 2026, with proposals due by August 7, 2026. It is issued by the Washington County Public Health department under the Oregon agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, with performance expected within Washington County, Oregon. Primary contact is Alicia Aquino, Program Coordinator, reachable at 503-858-3094 or alicia_aquino@washingtoncountyor.gov, with Kiersten Vanderhoof, Senior Procurement Analyst, serving as secondary contact. All submissions must be made through the official procurement portal linked in the solicitation.
