Universal Health Care for All!

Our mission to achieve single-payer health care in Oregon

Mid-Valley Health Care Advocates works to establish a publicly funded, comprehensive, equitable, and affordable health care system for all people in Oregon and the entire U.S.A.

Over our thirty-year history we have never strayed from our purpose: the current system of private health care is expensive, provides inadequate care, and results in untold administrative waste. Universal health care for all is the only solution. Learn more about our work below.
