Mission & Focus Areas
OCHIN’s stated mission is to provide health information technology, software, and services exclusively for community health clinics and small practices serving the medically underserved. Its website describes work in research, health IT, consultancy, and advocacy. Research priorities include chronic disease management and rural health; OCHIN also describes work on health equity, social determinants of health, community engagement, and implementation science.
In its 2025 filing, OCHIN reported grants for research contracts, including projects associated with PCORI, NIH, and CDC, as well as a Health Center Controlled Network grant. Its reported grantees include organizations with varied missions. For example, Community Health Center Network Inc says it supports community health centers and other providers serving underserved, low-income communities in two California counties; Fenway Health says its mission includes health care, education, research, and advocacy for Greater Boston residents; and the Oregon Primary Care Association says it leads the transformation of primary care to achieve health equity. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not OCHIN’s.
