Place Matters Clatsop County participates in the Place Matters Oregon project, which acknowledges the connection between where we live and our health. Place Matters Clatsop County started in 2019 because of interest between various community partners to find better ways to ensure healthy outcomes for all residents.
Place Matters Oregon is an effort of the Oregon Health Authority’s Public Health Division. The goals are to foster conversations about how place affects our health and to inspire collective action that will make a healthy life available to all Oregonians. Clatsop County is the only county that produces an annual local conference.
“The places where we live, work, learn, play and age matter to our physical, mental and emotional health. Much can be done in Oregon communities to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to live a long, healthy life. When we support people in making healthy choices help prevent the chronic diseases that diminish individual lives and the vitality of our state,” Reilly said.
The Public Health Division of the Oregon Health Authority is dedicated to promoting health and preventing the leading causes of death, disease and injury in our state. We do this by creating environments, policies and systems that support healthy communities and wellness for everyone, including access to healthy food, physical activity, immunizations, safe water and clean air.

Clatsop CHART works collaboratively with community members to impact policy, systems, and environmental change to raise the overall health of Clatsop County residents.
