“Innovation and Leadership in Transformation” honor highlights more than two decades of inspired community health leadership
Mosaic Community Health, a nonprofit community health center providing quality care for all in Bend, Redmond, Prineville, Sisters and Madras, is proud to share that Megan Haase, FNP and CEO has received the Oregon Primary Care Association 2025 Award of Excellence for Innovation and Leadership in Transformation. This honor celebrates those in Oregon who take a leadership approach to supporting their community health center, inspiring their team and community to transform a set of resources into something greater than the sum of its parts, constantly working to reimagine what is possible in community health.“I am so honored to have been chosen for this award. This recognition reflects not just my efforts, but the collective mission-drive and dedication of our amazing Mosaic team,” said Haase. “Their passion and commitment to continue to better serve our community is at the heart of all that we have accomplished.”
Haase was one of the original providers when the organization first opened in Prineville in 2002. She stepped into the CEO position in 2010. She has helped Mosaic grow from 600+ patients in their first year to serving more than 32,000, all the while focusing on improving the healthcare system of the region. Haase has led the effort to align with other healthcare providers to both change regional healthcare supports and create partnerships in numerous ways to expand Mosaic services and access. This has included embedding clinics in county facilities and co-locating with affordable housing complexes.
“The importance of relationships remains among Megan’s guiding principles and strengths in leading Mosaic,” said Mosaic Chief Strategy Officer Elaine Knobbs-Seasholtz, who nominated Haase for the award. “She has instilled a mission-driven, person-centered culture that has allowed Mosaic to grow and thrive to meet her vision.”
A lasting impact of Haase’s work can be seen in the fact that one in nine people in Central Oregon are currently Mosaic patients, and there are 16 Mosaic locations throughout the region. Additionally, there are numerous strong partnerships that will continue to advance the health of the region long into the future. Another lasting impact of her leadership can be seen in the individual leaders that she has mentored and supported over the years. Whether they have stayed at Mosaic, gone on to other organizations or even left and then returned, Haase has inspired and infused her unique leadership style and approach into several generations of new leaders.
The award was presented during OPCA’s annual conference on March 31.
