Governor Brown and OHA launch Safe + Strong outreach campaign in 12 languages
To get through COVID-19 together, all of us need access to information and resources that allow us to be safe, healthy and strong.
This crisis has been particularly challenging for people who already face barriers to health and well-being, including our family, friends and neighbors who don’t have access to life-saving information in the language they speak.
This week, Governor Kate Brown and OHA launched the Safe + Strong campaign. The campaign includes a website with culturally relevant information in 12 languages and a community engagement and technical assistance effort to support community organizations in reaching and assisting Oregon residents across the state.

Non-urgent medical procedures to resume May 1 with safeguards in place
This week, Governor Brown announced that she will lift her order delaying non-urgent procedures for health care providers, as long as they demonstrate they can meet new requirements for COVID-19 safety and preparedness. Hospitals, surgical centers, medical offices, and dental offices that meet requirements will be able to resume non-urgent procedures on May 1. Medical providers must demonstrate the ability to:
- Minimize the risk of coronavirus transmission to patients and healthcare workers
- Maintain adequate hospital capacity in the event of a surge in COVID-19 cases
- Support the health care workforce in safely resuming activities
Facilities ready to begin resuming non-urgent procedures will be required to do so gradually, in order to preserve capacity to treat COVID-19 patients.
