Oregon Health Licensing Agency
Established by the 70th Oregon Legislative Assembly in 1999, the Oregon Health Licensing Agency (OHLA) is a state consumer protection agency overseeing regulation of multiple health and related professions.  Unique among Oregon’s regulatory agencies, OHLA oversees multiple professions under a central agency administration.
