As we work together to stop the spread of COVID-19 at home, work and in the community, we want to make sure you have the resources you need to keep informed, healthy and safe. If you have any questions about OHP and COVID-19, please let us know.

 Recordings: COVID-19 vaccine rollout for the 6-month to 5-year old populations
All recordings are now available for the Oregon Health Authority's recent learning series for providers and public health professionals:
 Spread the word: Monthly partner webinar series about preparing for the end of the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency
Please help share this learning opportunity with community partners, coordinated care organizations, providers, insurers, and others who work with Oregon Health Plan (OHP) members or people who receive Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) benefits.
- These monthly webinars will provide information and tools that partners can use to help OHP members and people who receive ODHS benefits prepare for potential changes once the federal COVID-19 Public Health Emergency ends.
- Sessions will be Tuesdays, 10 to 11 a.m. Pacific Time starting Sept. 13, 2022.
Approximately 1,064,021 people in Oregon live with hearing loss. 4,043 of these people use sign language to communicate.
- People who are Deaf, DeafBlind or Hard of Hearing are more likely to experience poor health knowledge and inequitable access to health care (medical, dental and behavioral health services).
- This avoidable disparity is due to misinformation, cultural barriers, and language barriers. Those barriers can be addressed through education and information.
In 2021, Bridges Oregon became the first culturally specific and responsive nonprofit organization in Oregon to offer workshops that help health care providers overcome communication barriers experienced by patients who are Deaf, DeafBlind or Hard of Hearing.
To schedule a workshop or ask questions about the workshops, please email info@bridgesoregon.org.
