Today the Oregon State Senate passed SB 1527, which would eliminate out-of-pocket costs for patients who need diagnostic follow-up care after an abnormal cervical cancer screening. If the bill passes the House, and is signed by the governor, Oregon would be the first state to adopt such a policy. The OMA congratulates the Oregon section of the American College of Obstetricians & Gynecologists (ACOG) for its tireless advocacy on this issue.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, yet women continue to be underrepresented in cardiovascular research. National Wear Red Day seeks to raise awareness of the prevalence of CVD in women, and that heart attack and stroke can occur at any age. Controlling blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol helps lower your risk for CVD.

As frontline clinicians in Oregon, we are deeply concerned about recent violent incidents involving federal law enforcement activity, including events locally where a child was kept from accessing urgent medical care.

Every day, we care for people at their most vulnerable. Our exam rooms, hospitals, and clinics must remain places of safety — where patients can seek care without fear, hesitation, or harm. When people are afraid to leave their homes, bring their children to school, or access medical care, their health suffers. We see this fear in our patients, and we are concerned about the lasting impact it has on both physical and mental health.
