Small CCO n (<50,000)	4 (80%)	4 (50%)	1 (50%)	0 (0%)
Large CCO n (>50,000)	1 (20%)	4 (50%)	1 (50%)	1 (100%)
Geographic Characteristics^b
Predominately frontier	0 (0%)	1 (12.5%)	0 (0%)	0 (0%)

Notes:

Thirteen of 16 CCOs had CHW program initiatives; some CCOs had more than one employment structure. These are early stage characteristics of CCOs by employment structure but are not necessarily inherent nor permanent to the structure.

Geographic designations are based on Oregon Office of Rural Health definitions.
