Governor Kotek secures additional funding to help stabilize maternity care in rural communities
OHA release - New federal funding will bolster state investment, strengthen labor and delivery services across 21 rural hospitals serving families in 17 counties. SALEM, Ore. — Governor Tina Kotek, Oregon Health Authority (OHA), and the Hospital Association of Oregon, announced that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) approved Oregon’s proposed state directed payment to strengthen and stabilize maternity care services in rural communities. By matching state funding secured by Governor Kotek , these approved federal funds will result in a total investment of up to $37.5 million for 21 rural hospitals that provide maternity services for some of Oregon’s most remote communities. For rural hospitals, many of which will navigate reductions in Medicaid funding due to H.R. 1, these payments will help provide additional staffing and essential medical equipment, sustain and create good paying jobs and invest in strategies that improve overall quality of care of maternity services, such as supporting community outreach to pregnant Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members. "I fought for these funds in my budget to stabilize services in Oregon because rural communities deserve reliable, high quality maternity care close to home,” Governor Kotek said. “The Trump Administration’s cuts to Medicaid will make rural maternity care harder to sustain and I applaud the work by the agency to maximize state dollars to support Oregon providers. I appreciate this partnership from hospital leaders who participated in conversations with my office to devise how these funds will be spent, and our continued partnership as we work together to improve access to care where it’s needed most.” The directed payment is part of a one-time $25 million investment authorized by the Legislature in House Bill 5025 (2025). The coordinated effort is led by Governor Kotek with OHA and the Hospital Association of Oregon to strengthen maternity services. Roughly half of all births in the state are covered by OHP, and Medicaid funding changes have already begun to impact rural healthcare providers in Oregon and across the country. “CMS’s approval enables us to support rural hospitals at a moment when maternity services are under tremendous pressure,” said Dr. Sejal Hathi, Director of OHA. “OHA worked hard to secure this funding because rural families and communities cannot wait as healthcare costs rise and labor and delivery units close. These funds will help reinforce essential care for expecting OHP members while also strengthening services for entire communities. As we implement this directed payment, OHA remains committed to bolstering the full continuum of maternity care and closing longstanding gaps—so that families can access the safe, high-quality care they need throughout pregnancy and beyond.” At a time when Oregon’s rural hospitals are increasingly impacted by federal policy changes, these payments are designed to stabilize maternity services, strengthen access to care, and create good paying jobs in communities with limited resources. The funding aims to ensure safe, reliable services for OHP members. The investments are expected to improve access to prenatal and postpartum care, reduce preventable complications, and promote more equitable maternal health outcomes across rural Oregon. “Oregon's rural hospitals face mounting financial and workforce challenges in sustaining the maternity services families rely on,” said Becky Hultberg, president and CEO of the Hospital Association of Oregon. “CMS’s approval was a critical step in releasing funds to rural hospitals, providing much-needed support to help protect access to maternity care in rural Oregon. This investment highlights what can be achieved when state leaders, hospitals, and our partners work together to protect care in communities.” There is no application process for rural hospitals. Rural hospitals that currently offer maternity services will automatically receive payments. OHA is working with CCOs and rural hospitals to coordinate a payment schedule. Investments Aimed at Stabilizing Care and Expanding Access: These efforts are part of a broader statewide strategy to strengthen maternity care. In 2025, the Governor requested and the Legislature authorized a one-time $25 million investment to support, stabilize, improve and expand rural maternity hospital services. Governor Kotek directed OHA to distribute the funds in a targeted approach based on input from impacted hospitals. In addition to the CMS?approved directed payment, OHA increased the 2026 maternity care rates for larger hospitals that are paid by coordinated care organizations (CCOs) through diagnosis-related group (DRG) rates. Rural hospitals may use the funds to strengthen maternity services and improve quality of care for OHP members, including: Hiring or retaining maternity care staff; Upgrading or purchasing clinical equipment; Expanding outreach, navigation, or perinatal support for OHP members; Below is a list of rural hospitals on the Oregon Coast that will receive direct payment: Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital & Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital, both in Lincoln Co. Adventist Health Tillamook Medical Center, Tillamook Co. In counties such as Malheur County — where more than half of residents are enrolled in OHP — improvements to maternity services often benefit the broader community. While activities like outreach may focus specifically on OHP members, other investments, such as equipment upgrades or additional staffing, enhance care for all patients. In addition to the directed payment, OHA is continuing to strengthen the full continuum of maternity care by expanding access to doulas and lactation counselors, implementing a community-based access program to support culturally specific and geographically diverse perinatal service providers, and prioritizing maternal and child health through the Rural Health Transformation Program. OHA recognizes that maternity care extends far beyond hospital services—from prenatal visits and labor and delivery to postpartum supports, home visiting, and lactation services—and is working across this entire continuum to close gaps and improve equitable access to care for families in every community.

Prefontaine Classic in Eugene Designated an Oregon Heritage Tradition
OPRD release - Eugene, Oregon – The Prefontaine Classic approaches its 51st year with an Oregon Heritage Tradition designation by the Oregon Heritage Commission. The Prefontaine Classic is the 29th event in Oregon to be designed an Oregon Heritage Tradition. Other Oregon Heritage Traditions include the Great Oregon Steam-up in Brooks, Oregon State Fair, Medford’s Pear Blossom Festival, the Pendleton Round-Up, and the Woodburn Fiesta Mexicana. “The designation recognizes those traditions that have been ongoing for 50 years or more, add to the livability and identity of the state, and has a public profile that distinguishes it from other events,” said Katie Henry, Oregon Heritage Commission Coordinator. On June 7, 1975, the first annual Prefontaine Classic was held. The roots of the Prefontaine Classic began in 1973 as the Hayward Restoration Meet. Oregon track & field coach Bill Bowerman and the Oregon Track Club hosted the event to raise funds for the renovation of the West Grandstands at Historic Hayward Field. After the fundraising needs were met, the meet was set to be renamed to the Bowerman Classic to honor Bill Bowerman. Eight days before the inaugural Bowerman Classic, it was renamed the Prefontaine Classic following the loss of Steve Prefontaine — one of the State of Oregon’s most well-known and decorated athletes. Today the Prefontaine Classic is organized by Track Town Events, LLC and the Oregon Track Club. The event stays true to the core of the Prefontaine Classic by hosting the best track & field athletes from around the globe every year for competition in sprint, distance, jumping, and throwing events. This competition continues to honor Steve Prefontaine and his competitive spirit. “We are humbled and honored for The Prefontaine Classic to receive Oregon Heritage Tradition designation,” said Jody Smith, co-Meeting Director. “This recognition is a testament to the Oregon Track Club and all those who built the world's best track & field meet. As the current stewards of the event, we remain committed to upholding Pre’s spirit by bringing the world’s best athletes and performances to Hayward Field at the University of Oregon.” The Prefontaine Classic hosts approximately 12,000 fans in person every year, with close to one-third of them traveling in from outside the state of Oregon for the event. In 2025, the estimated economic impact of the meet totaled $4.1 million. The Commission will be presenting the Heritage Tradition Designation to Track Town Events, LLC and the Oregon Track Club at the 51st annual Prefontaine Classic, July 3-4, at Hayward Field at the University of Oregon. The application process along with a list of designated Traditions is available at https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/pages/heritage-designations.aspx.
