WVP Health Authority began as Capitol Health Care Physicians in 1976. The organization first acted as the provider panel for the Capitol Health Care HMO. To establish greater independence, in September of 1991 the association changed the name to MVIPA by restating its articles of incorporation. At the same time, the IPA hired a staff member and began contracting with additional carriers.
To ensure a common brand among health care providers, clinics, health plans and other entities, the organization underwent an identity and rebranding process. The association changed its name to WVP Health Authority and opened a new headquarters in 2010.
Today, the association has grown to approximately 530 members practicing primary and specialty care serving Salem, Santiam, Silverton, and West Valley hospitals. The WVP Health Authority contracts with more than 10 insurance carriers and includes commercial, Medicare, and Oregon Health Plan.
