What Is AmeriCorps VISTA?
Since 1965, over 220,000 VISTA members (Volunteers In Service To America) have served with the mission to strengthen organizations that alleviate poverty. VISTA serves in each of the 50 U.S. States and in all U.S. Territories. VISTA members go where they are needed and make a difference through volunteering and the mobilization of resources.

How are Oregon Health Authority (OHA) VISTAs unique?
Oregon Health Authority OHA AmeriCorps VISTA members dedicate one year of service to major public health organizations to create or expand health systems capacity. All projects that OHA VISTA members work on aim to alleviate poverty in local communities by building sustainable public health systems that ensure health equity, community resiliency, and improve health outcomes.

Our history with OHA VISTAs
Over the past four years, we have hosted AmeriCorps VISTA members as part of their continued partnership with OHA. These VISTA members have worked on various projects for us and play a big part in our organization’s ability to effectively meet health needs in Columbia County. Our current AmeriCorps VISTA member, Anders Kass, is currently working to support Suicide Prevention and Mental Health Promotion efforts, though previous AmeriCorps VISTAs have worked more with accreditation. The introduction of these new professionals work to bring new perspectives and expertise to accomplish projects and meet goals that we would otherwise likely struggle to achieve.
