Legacy Health Partners - News & Updates

We were thrilled to extend an invite to all patient facing LHP members last week. With your help we completed 1,400 vaccinations at our two large vaccine clinics last Saturday and Sunday alone, and have extended invites to more than 30,000 health care workers to date. We are working with the Oregon Health Authority and regional public health officials to refine our invitations and processes and to ensure that Legacy can safely vaccinate as many health care workers as quickly and equitably as possible.   
 
We have other big plans on the horizon as Legacy will join the region’s three other health systems, OHSU, Kaiser and Providence, to open a large regional vaccination center at the Oregon Convention Center as soon as next week. The jointly operated center is essential to speed up Oregon’s vaccinations for older people, essential workers and, eventually, all Oregonians. It will also allow health systems to help support Gov. Kate Brown’s goals to begin vaccinating teachers and people older than 65 years starting Jan. 23. Legacy will phase out our own super clinics later this month to focus our resources on helping make the joint center successful. The change will not impact the timing of vaccinations for Legacy Health Partners. We will share additional information early next week about what you can expect as well as new details to help those who have not already scheduled appointments.

If you are due for a second dose vaccination over the next five days, and have not already scheduled your appointment, please use your MyHealth account to do so. You may contact LegacyHealthPartners@lhs.org if you don't see a way to schedule your second dose appointment in MyHealth. 

Welcome New Board and Committee Members

Jenny Robinson, Executive Director, Legacy Health Partners 

LHP’s board and committees will be getting an infusion of new talent and expertise in 2021 as ten new members join the governance structure. The LHP leadership team also wishes to express our gratitude to all who committed time and shared their experience and knowledge through their service as LHP Board and committee members in 2020. We thank you all and acknowledge those members below who departed from the LHP governance structure at the end of last year. We hope you will continue to make your voices heard through interactions with your field operations advisers, participation in network collaboration events and engagement with other LHP channels.
