Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention  
Healthy Places, Healthy People

Vision: All people in Oregon live, work, play and learn in communities that support health and optimal quality of life.

Mission:  To advance policies, environments and systems that promote health and prevent and manage chronic diseases.

HPCDP's 2020 vision, mission, and framework focus on best practices for promoting and supporting optimal health for all Oregonians: Healthy Places Healthy People: A Framework for Oregon (pdf). 

The Oregon Health Authority Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Program efforts are supported by funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The tobacco control program is also funded with tobacco tax revenues designated by Ballot Measure 44 passed by Oregon voters in 1996. At the current time, no state general fund revenues support these programs.
