United Way’s Wildfire Response Efforts

In response to the devastating impacts of the wildfires across our region, United Way of Lane County has launched an emergency Wildfire Response Fund. Funds raised will support nonprofit agencies in Lane County working directly to meet the needs of families and individuals affected by the fire. Additional resources are available below. These pages will be updated regularly. 

COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus) 

As a collaborative dedicated to the health and well-being of our community, United Way of Lane County and Live Healthy Lane are closely monitoring developments surrounding the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Lane County and determining how to help minimize its impact in our local community. 

At this time, the United Way physical office is closed to the public, but our staff is working remotely and available by phone and email. ​

Introducing Live Healthy Lane
We all want Lane County to be a healthy place to live, learn, work and play. 

We have a strong foundation for a healthy community -- abundant natural resources, and caring, innovative, hardworking people with a history of working together. While we are proud and grateful for these strengths, there is still work to be done.

Live Healthy Lane unites Lane County, United Way, PeaceHealth, Trillium, our partners and YOU to improve your life, and help improve the lives of your family, friends, and neighbors. Together we can do more than each of us can do alone.
Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. A healthy community is one that is continuously creating and improving those physical and social environments and expanding those community resources that enable people to mutually support each other in performing all the functions of life
and in developing to their maximum potential.

Introducing the CHA & CHP

The Community Health Assessment (CHA) explores and identifies health issues in Lane County. 

The CHA creates an opportunity to improve the health of our community by informing the Regional Community Health Plan (CHP).

The CHP is an action-orientated plan with goals to:
  1. increase economic and social opportunities,
  2. increase health behaviors to improve health and well-being, and
  3. strengthen cross-sector collaborations. ​

​Current strategies of CHP 2016-19 pictured right.
This work is implemented in collaboration with Lane County, United Way, PeaceHealth, Trillium, Live Healthy Lane partners, and YOU to help improve health for all who live, learn, work, and play in Lane County.
