HSD Community Advisory Bodies
Our advisory boards and committees gather community input to share with HSD leadership, the Portland City Council and the Board of County Commissioners. These advisory groups provide opportunities for community members to learn about the HSD’s work, bring a community perspective to our decision-making, and make recommendations on programs, services and policies. Our CABs are driven by theses values: collaboration, equity, and inclusion.
