NTI

Nuclear Threat Initiative Inc. released a first-of-its-kind, public baseline assessment of the status of nuclear materials security conditions in 176 countries. The NTI Nuclear Materials Security Index underscores that there is no global consensus about what steps matter most to secure some of the world's most dangerous materials against theft and recommends actions to hold countries accountable, increase transparency and benchmark progress. Released ahead of the March 2012 Nuclear Security Summit in Seoul, the NTI Index examines nuclear materials security conditions in 32 countries with one kilogram or more of weapons-usable nuclear materials, as well as in 144 additional states that have less than one kilogram of this material, or none, but could be used as safe havens, staging grounds or transit points for illicit nuclear activities. The report, NTI Nuclear Materials Security Index: Building a Framework for Assurance, Accountability and Action, was developed with the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), and assesses countries with weapons-usable nuclear materials across five categories: Quantities and Sites, Security and Control Measures, Global Norms, Domestic Commitments and Capacity, and Societal Factors. The 144 states without weapons-usable materials are assessed across a subset of these categories.

Health Share of Oregon

We collectively create health or lack of health. Caregiver, service giver, policymaker and, most importantly, each one of us. Healthy individuals can create a healthy community. We are all in this together, creating, delivering and receiving care and services. Our CCO is a single organism, a community, an integrated collection of care and services that prevents illness and promotes and restores health in all its many meanings: physical, social, behavioral. Health Share is also a community of members who actively engage to the best of their abilities. Because without individual responsibility, there ultimately cannot be health. We know that it is better to prevent illness than treat it, better to stay on top of chronic conditions, better to provide people what they need to take care of themselves. In our community, members get the care they need, when they need it. What’s more, care goes into the community to serve them where they are. In our community, members receive the care they need regardless of race, ethnicity, social situation or literacy levels. Barriers are removed and doors are opened for the benefit of member health. In our community, care and services come from whatever source is most appropriate. We acknowledge, respect and include all providers of care and services. We count as partners any and all organizations that help our members, whether by contract or by mission. And that help extends far beyond the provision of care, to the basic needs that all people have and are entitled to: education, housing, employment, safety and more. Our mission is to develop an integrated community health system that achieves better care, better health and lower costs for the Medicaid population and the Tri-County community.
