The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Public Health Division (PHD), within the Adolescent Health, ScreenWise and Reproductive Health section is seeking a Health Policy Analyst (Operations and Policy Analyst 3).

This position is responsible for analyzing and interpreting Gender Affirming Care (GAC) policies that affect both current programs and emerging legislation and initiatives across OHA, with a specific focus on impacts to GAC network adequacy and workforce development. As a subject matter expert, the analyst will work closely with the OHA Gender Affirming Care Steering Committee to deliver policy analysis, expert consultation, and strategic recommendations to OHA leadership, program areas, and partner organizations engaged in advancing gender affirming care in Oregon.

The role requires a strong understanding of the intersections of LGBTQIA2S+ health, federal and state GAC laws, and Oregon’s health systems, including public health, Medicaid, and commercial payers. The analyst will lead studies exploring treatment access barriers identified by community members and partners, guide statewide policy and legislative efforts, and develop both immediate and long-range plans to move forward GAC priorities. The position will also assess current programs and Oregon’s capacity to support GAC services, recommending improvements that build sustainable systems of care aligned with House Bill 2002.

In collaboration with the GAC Steering Committee and partners across OHA, Oregon Department of Human Services, other state agencies, and Coordinated Care Organizations, this position will strengthen cross-system relationships to ensure equitable access to high-quality, culturally and linguistically responsive gender affirming care. As high-profile policy changes arise, the analyst will coordinate OHA’s response, addressing scope, resource allocation, accountability, and policy alignment. Additional responsibilities include developing privacy conscious data collection methods, supporting the expansion of GAC provider networks, and considering insurance coverage and reimbursement structures essential for sustainable health systems.

Overall, this position brings critical GAC expertise, strategic and systems thinking, and community engagement skills to convene partners, facilitate equitable decision-making, and support OHA’s mission to eliminate health inequities.
