Several Portland hospitals showed their support for the LGBTQ+ community at the #PortlandPride 2023 parade, and we expect another strong showing July 21 for Pride 2024. These hospitals embrace their communities, prioritize health equity, and work to eliminate barriers to access.

It’s a Portland tradition going back to 2008. @KPNorthwest is once again sponsoring Sunday Parkways, a celebration of healthy living and community. The next event is June 16 in the Cully neighborhood. Oregon's hospitals improve #communityhealth. #CHIWeek kpnwevents.com/

President and CEO Becky Hultberg talked discharge delays at a hearing of the House Interim Committee on Behavioral Health and Health Care. When patients can't be discharged from the hospital to a more appropriate care setting, it's bad for hospitals and patients. #orleg #orpol

Volunteers at Oregon’s hospitals are so important, like the Clatsop Quilters’ Guild whose members hand stitched 35 quilts for patients at the @CMHCommunity-@OHSUNews Cancer clinic. The quilts’ warmth and love make a huge difference. #volunteers #community

We applaud the Northwest Native American Center for Excellence @OHSUNews. NNACOE improves the health of our communities, including tribal communities, by encouraging and training more indigenous people to pursue careers in health care. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

A breast cancer diagnosis is always difficult, but more patients than ever are surviving thanks to advancements in treatment. This @SamHealth breast care specialist describes the role of genetics and innovations in surgery and radiation. There is hope! youtube.com/watch?v=VovuXyw1…

Happy Thanksgiving! In the spirit of community that so many Oregon hospitals act on every day, these @PeaceHealth_Ore employees continued a long tradition to collect and distribute turkey dinners to hundreds of families in need. We thank them and all the employees working today.

Sharlet Rasmussen has worked at @STCHealth for 50 years! She started in food service in 1973 then became a therapy tech. She loves the teamwork and seeing patients make progress. Thanks to Sharlet and all of our health care workers for the amazing work they do in our hospitals!

Thank you @DreaValderrama (center) representing outer east PDX in the Oregon House for visiting @ahnw to discuss issues such as making sure behavioral health patients are in the best care environment for their needs. Adventist and other Oregon hospitals share this goal.
