Building Healthier, More Equitable Communities

Welcome to the Health Equity Coalition of Marion, Polk, and Yamhill Counties (HECMPY) — a community-driven movement dedicated to advancing health equity for all. Grounded in trust, collaboration, and advocacy, we work to create systemic change that uplifts communities historically underserved and impacted by social and economic inequities.

The Health Equity Coalition of Marion, Polk, and Yamhill Counties is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to building healthier, more just communities where everyone can thrive.

Empowering Our Community​

At HECMPY, we elevate the voices of those who have long been left out of decision-making processes. Our work is centered on empowering diverse communities to thrive—physically, mentally, and socially.

Why Health Equity Matters

Health equity means ensuring every individual has the opportunity to achieve their full health potential—no matter their race, ethnicity, income, or background. We’re committed to dismantling barriers that perpetuate inequality in healthcare, education, housing, and employment.
