Introducing Live Healthy Lane

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

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

Improving health in Lane County must be a collaborative effort. Live Healthy Lane is a formal partnership comprised of key stakeholders, Lane Community Health Council, Lane County Public Health, PeaceHealth Oregon Region, Trillium Community Health Plan, and United Way of Lane County that oversee the periodic assessment of health issues and needs in Lane County (the Community Health Assessment; CHA) and the development and implementation of the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHP). However, creating the conditions for optimal health is the responsibility of everyone in our community.

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."

– World Health Organization

Introducing Lane County's 2021-25 CHP and CHA

Lane County's Community Health Improvement Plan (CHP) is a menu of action items that, taken together as a community, have the potential to achieve Live Healthy Lane's vision of: Working together to create a caring community where all people can live a healthier life.

2021-25 CHP Priorities:
  1. Ensure incomes are sufficient to meet basic costs of living (i.e., housing, childcare, food transportation, etc.)
  2. Establish community conditions that support behavioral health and physical well-being
  3. Address current historical injustices that produce disparities​​​

​The 2021-25 CHP is informed by the 2018-19 Community Health Assessment (CHA), which identified health issues and needs in Lane County.
Live Healthy Lane Partners are currently working to develop a CHP Action Plan.

Sign up for Live Healthy Lane's email list to stay up to date on the latest 2021-25 CHP developments.
This work is implemented in collaboration with Lane Community Health Council, Lane County Public Health, PeaceHealth Oregon Region, Trillium Community Health Plan, United Way of Lane County, Live Healthy Lane partners, and YOU to help improve health for all who live, learn, work, and play in Lane County. Together we can do more than each of us can do alone.

COVID-19 (Novel Coronavirus)


​As a collaborative dedicated to the health and well-being of our community, Live Healthy Lane partners 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. ​

United Way's Wildfire Response Efforts

In response to the devastating impacts of the wildfires across our region, United Way of Lane County launched an emergency Wildfire Response Fund. As an organization dedicated to the well-being of our community, United Way of Lane County is working with community partners to identify impacts of the recent wildfires in Lane County and determining how to help community residents. So far, they have invested over 500,000 in local wildfire response efforts. Additional resources are available below. These pages will be updated regularly.
