www.ohca.com SPRING/SUMMER 2023 The Oregon Caregiver 15 PUBLIC POLICY and ensuring residents and vulnerable seniors receive the best possible care. Earlier in session, HB 2665A was approved by the House Behavioral Health and Health Care Committee to Joint Committee on Ways and Means. Lawmakers are still considering this bill. It has not yet passed or failed. Outside of Medicaid rates and reigning in some temporary staffing agencies, OHCA has been engaged in a range of policy issues that may impact long term care this session. From healthcare workforce pipeline expansion, to LGBTQIA2S+ resident rights, to improving the Oregon State Board of Nursing expertise in long term care, there are hundreds of bills OHCA has passed, amended, or stopped all together on behalf of its members as we continue our mission of advancing quality care for Oregonians in long term care settings. Please reach out to OHCA’s government relations team if you have questions about legislative efforts. Libby Batlan is the SVP of Government Relations at OHCA.
