Strategic Partnerships Kaiser Permanente has previously funded access to acupuncture care for low-income patients in the Portland area, suggesting ongoing interest from health insurers and healthcare providers in partnerships to expand services and community health programs.

Community Health OCOM runs a low-cost teaching clinic with thousands of patient visits annually, indicating a proven model for scalable community-based services that could attract grant funding, sponsor programs, or contract with municipal health initiatives.

Educational Capacity With multiple accredited graduate programs and a large alumni base across the US and internationally, there is potential to offer continuing education, certificate programs, or workforce development contracts to healthcare organizations seeking skilled practitioners.

Tech & Analytics OCOM uses a modern tech stack and analytics tools which can be leveraged to demonstrate outcomes, patient satisfaction, and program impact to potential funders, partners, or customers seeking measurable value.

Expansion Readiness Recent collaborations with Fora Health and historic community partnerships indicate openness to growth and service expansion, presenting opportunities for joint ventures, residency placements, or co-branded health programs with health systems or universities.
