Los problemas con el juego no siempre son visibles. Muchas personas sufren en silencio, mientras que sus consecuencias se extienden a las familias, las relaciones y las comunidades.

Este mes, queremos crear conciencia sobre este problema de salud pública, oculto e incomprendido frecuentemente.

¡Marzo es el Mes Nacional del Riñón! Los riñones tienen muchas funciones importantes. Una de ellas es mantener la cantidad adecuada de agua en nuestro cuerpo.

Beber en exceso provoca deshidratación, hipertensión arterial y daño en los riñones. Todo esto afecta considerablemente el funcionamiento correcto de nuestros riñones. Mantengase hidratado, coma sano y haga ejercicio con regularidad. ¡Sus órganos se lo agradecerán!

March is National Kidney Month! Kidneys have many important jobs. One of them is keeping the right amount of water in our bodies.

Excessive drinking leads to dehydration, high blood pressure and liver damage. All of those things make it much harder for our kidneys to work properly. Stay hydrated, eat healthy and exercise regularly — your organs will thank you!

The project will create 47 homes with supportive services for people in our community experiencing chronic homelessness and disabilities. Permanent supportive housing combines stable housing with services such as healthcare, behavioral health support and case management to help people maintain long-term housing stability.

Third Street Commons is the result of several years of collaboration between Corvallis Housing First, the City of Corvallis, Benton County, the State of Oregon and many community partners working together to expand housing solutions in our community.

Construction is expected to be completed in September 2027, with residents moving in shortly afterward.
