Katie McClure

Katie McClure serves as Director of the TRACEs partnership. In this role, she supports the efforts of communities to raise awareness, share knowledge, support and train providers, strengthen networks, and advance policies and practices that nurture resilience.

Katie is committed to engaging those closest to the issues in creating solutions that have measurable impacts. She has worked with community members, healthcare executives, city leaders, grocery store managers, school superintendents, labor unions, surgeons, technology designers, bicycle advocates, public health experts, business leaders, and more to tackle gnarly problems by working together.

“Katie is totally committed to improving community health in the broadest sense of the word – and she has the talent and skills to galvanize significant, measurable results. Humble yet determined, she is a rare find.”- Duncan Wyse, President of the Oregon Business Council.

McClure launched Oregon Healthiest State in 2014 to engage communities from around the state in a movement to become the healthiest state. Prior to that she worked directly with community teams delivering results like a 40% reduction in the cost of care for employees, 14% reduction in obesity and 30% reduction in smoking community wide. In the healthcare sector, she oversaw integrated system-wide efforts that included saving $40M while improving patient experience, doubling the number of donors to the community giving campaign, and moving hospital satisfaction scores from the bottom quartile to the top quartile.

Katie lives on the Eastside of Bend with her husband Craig, daughter Elliot (5) and son Clive (2). They enjoy reading, playing in the yard, camping, skiing, hiking, biking around town, and connecting with family and friends.
