Helping in Your Community
It is a time of change and challenge in our state. Oregon families are facing tough times because of economic forces beyond their control. Meanwhile, health care costs keep rising and more seniors and vulnerable people need help than ever before.
These challenges bring our communities together. The Oregon Department of Human Services and the Oregon Health Authority are part of the public structure providing services that affect everyone in your county.
