Dr. Gillespie serves as the Medical Director for the Oregon Pediatric Improvement Partnership, where he works with multiple practices across the state in improving the quality of care given to all children. He also advocates for children in multiple state policy committees, including the workgroups responsible for deciding the maternal and child health quality measurements that are used in assessing the care delivered through the Coordinated Care Organizations. He has also been involved in the committees responsible for determining the standards for practices becoming certified as a medical home under the state’s Patient Centered Primary Care Home Program.
