Bringing Care and Oregon together since 1994

In 1975, 6-year-old Virginia Garcia and her farmworker parents traveled from their Texas home to California and then Oregon to work in the fields. Along the way Virginia cut her foot, and by the time the family reached Oregon, her foot had become infected. Unable to overcome economic, language and cultural barriers to health care, Virginia died from what should have been an easily treatable wound.

Limited access to mental health care is a significant national problem, affecting millions across the United States. In Oregon, CareOregon has been committed to addressing this growing crisis – and making investments where they are needed most.

Through the ERGs, employees can explore another way to deliver work that uplifts our members and communities. They can come together and support one another, build a sense of community – and have fun, too.
