We improve the health of the Marion-Polk community by governing our CCO, investing in our communities, and fostering collaborative relationships.
Willamette Health Council’s largest recent awards show a health-system funder working at substantial scale in the Marion-Polk region. In 2025, it gave $3,060,339 to Wvp Medical Group LLC in Salem and $2,071,466 to Yakima Valley Farm Workers Clinic in Toppenish, while 2024 awards included $2,233,475 again to Wvp Medical Group LLC and $1,397,593 to Yvfw in Toppenish. Those grants point to a funder centered on medical, dental, and behavioral health access rather than a single narrow program. The council’s stated summary is to improve health in the Marion-Polk community by governing its CCO, investing in communities, and fostering collaborative relationships. Recent awards also show support for local clinics, dental providers, and hospital-linked organizations, with repeated funding to Salem-based providers and regional partners. Alongside direct healthcare delivery, the council’s active programs include Medicaid renewal support, Traditional Health Worker capacity, youth and family system-of-care work, and community impact funding. The picture is of a place-based health funder that combines large provider payments with smaller community grants and sponsorships.
Access to healthcare is a clear throughline. The council gave $1,284,912 to Capitol Dental Care in Salem in 2025 and $1,103,493 to Oregon Dental Service in Portland, indicating sustained support for dental access. Behavioral health and substance use also appear in the grantmaking mix: Community Benefit Initiative grants are described as evidence-based community-level interventions that can address behavioral health supports, substance use, and housing and homelessness. For workforce capacity, the Traditional Health Worker Alliance pass-through supports culturally specific agencies and training for Traditional Health Workers in Marion and Polk counties. Youth and family services show up in the Marion-Polk System of Care Youth & Family Council Grant Program, which is tied to youth services, family support, and behavioral health. These program areas sit alongside community health and social-service grants aimed at local health-related needs.
Grant sizes range from small sponsorships to large provider awards. The typical grant size sits at a p25 of $20,000, a median of $50,000, and a p75 of $194,300, showing a mix of community-scale awards and much larger payments. The recent grants list also shows recurring support across years: Wvp Medical Group LLC, Salem Clinic Pc, Capitol Dental Care, and Wfmc Health each appear in multiple years, suggesting ongoing relationships rather than one-time gifts. The council uses both unsolicited opportunities and targeted programs, including mini-grants, community impact donations, community impact grants, and event sponsorships. It also administers pass-through and targeted funding, such as OHP redetermination support and Traditional Health Worker funding.
