Community Advisory Board (COCAB)

By Erin Volgeltantz

As a community partner, I get to help people access mental health and primary care services.

During COVID, I get to do this while keeping individuals safe by providing telemedicine. Getting new health insurance can be stressful, so I help CareOregon members understand and navigate their benefits so they can get the care they need. I also advocate for CareOregon members by working with their various providers to ensure each person receives whole health care.

During the coronavirus pandemic, I help new CareOregon members establish care with providers, so they can keep receiving their medications and health services and pick up right where they left off, without having to lose any progress they have made.
