In addition to the foundational programs established under ORS 431.141, the Oregon Health Authority may establish by rule other public health programs, or by rule or order other public health activities, that address specific public health problems or needs. Programs and activities may be established under this section for the purpose of enhancing or expanding a foundational program or for the purpose of addressing a need not addressed by a foundational program. Additional programs and activities may be established under this section in consideration of any advice provided by the Oregon Public Health Advisory Board or upon the authority's own initiative.
