Healthcare Resources

It is highly recommended that students maintain health insurance coverage whenever possible. The options available to any student will vary depending on their individual circumstances.  A great place to start for Oregon residents is the Oregon Department of Health and Human Services website.

This Oregon Department of Health and Human Services provides information about eligibility for the Oregon Health Plan (OHP), Oregon’s free health insurance for income-qualified individuals and families. It also provides calculator tools and referral information for private options on the healthcare marketplace (also known as Obamacare).

Please note, MHCC does not provide health insurance options or healthcare clinics to its students. Students are encouraged to explore the best health care and insurance options for themselves. MHCC’s benefits navigator is available to provide information and referral and help with Oregon Health Plan applications.

These listings do not represent official information of MHCC. MHCC is not affiliated with any of the organizations listed.
