Dr. Sejal Hathi, the New Oregon Health Authority Director, is set to embark on her fifth regional tour in Central Oregon starting on Monday. Her visit to the region will focus on understanding the healthcare needs and priorities of the area. During her tour, she will visit various health care organizations and facilities, including the Mosaic Community Health Federally Qualified Health Center.
Prior to her visit to Central Oregon, Dr. Hathi toured the Portland area and engaged with important organizations like the Miracles Club, Virginia Garcia Wellness Center, and Central City Concern. This outreach is part of a broader statewide tour aimed at understanding and prioritizing the health needs of all Oregon communities in the Oregon Health Authority’s strategic planning.
During her visit to the Mosaic Federally Qualified Health Center, Dr. Hathi will focus on gaining insights into the healthcare goals of the Central Oregon community and what they require from the state in terms of health care services. She will also participate in a facility tour and a roundtable listening session with local healthcare providers and patient support staff. The following day, she plans to visit a public health facility in Redmond to meet with representatives from various public health agencies in the region.

His report will be featured on NewsChannel 21 at Five after Dr. Hathi’s visit to Central Oregon ends.
