Community Impact & Outcomes
Legacy Health Foundation measures our success not by programs delivered, but by lives improved. Since 2008, we have tracked clinical outcomes, participant satisfaction, cost savings, and community reach across every program area. This page presents our most recent annual impact data alongside cumulative achievements that demonstrate the Foundation’s role as a critical component of Portland’s elder health infrastructure.
This Year’s Outcomes
Medicare Navigations
Individuals received one-on-one Medicare plan comparison and enrollment assistance, resulting in an estimated $1.2 million in aggregate out-of-pocket savings through optimized plan selection and benefits counseling.
CDSMP Graduates

Caregiver Hours
Total hours of respite care and caregiver support group facilitation delivered this fiscal year. Seventy-two percent of caregiver participants reported reduced burnout and improved coping skills at the six-month mark.

Estimated Cost Avoidance
Total estimated healthcare cost avoidance generated through hospitalization prevention, optimized Medicare enrollment, medication adherence improvements, and fall injury reduction across all programs.
Our Clinical & Community Partners
Legacy Health Foundation maintains formal partnerships with twenty-eight health clinics, social service agencies, and academic institutions across the Portland metro area. These partnerships enable warm referrals, shared data for outcomes tracking, and coordinated care planning.
Funding & Financial Stewardship
