OHA is taking requests! What topics would like to see videos about?
If you could watch a short video about a particular health topic, what would it be?
Maybe you want to know more about how vaccines work? Or maybe you want to learn the science behind wastewater surveillance and its benefits to public health? Or, what do Oregon’s ticks look like?
Our videography team is geared up and ready to create educational (and not boring!) videos about health issues that the people of Oregon want to better understand.
There are a multitude of topics OHA has expertise on, and we invite you to explore our entire website to see what subjects fall under our umbrella. You might be surprised by what you find!
Other examples might include wildfire smoke risks and safety, drug and alcohol use disorders (as well as treatment and recovery), disease prevention such as cancers or STDs, radon testing, disaster preparedness, or a behind-the-scenes look at how we monitor the water quality at Oregon’s beaches, lakes and rivers.
For the more bureaucratically minded, we can also explain some of Oregon’s laws surrounding health care policy, including Oregon Health Plan (OHP/Medicaid) and its benefits, Measure 110 or the state’s psilocybin services program.
Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions!

There are a multitude of topics OHA has expertise on, and we invite you to explore our entire website to see what subjects fall under our umbrella. You might be surprised by what you find!
Other examples might include wildfire smoke risks and safety, drug and alcohol use disorders (as well as treatment and recovery), disease prevention such as cancers or STDs, radon testing, disaster preparedness, or a behind-the-scenes look at how we monitor the water quality at Oregon’s beaches, lakes and rivers.
For the more bureaucratically minded, we can also explain some of Oregon’s laws surrounding health care policy, including Oregon Health Plan (OHP/Medicaid) and its benefits, Measure 110 or the state’s psilocybin services program.
Thank you in advance for any and all suggestions!
