Congratulations to Harlow Norton on her swine project at the FFA livestock auction. 🐷

Raising an animal takes time and dedication, from daily feeding and record keeping to preparing for the show ring. Harlow put in the work, and it showed.

Umpqua Health purchased Harlow's project at the auction. Great job, Harlow!

Thanks to Jackson Street Provisions for the delicious food.

Wishing everyone in Douglas County a safe and happy Halloween.

Our team spent time with public health professionals from across Oregon last week at the 82nd Annual Oregon Public Health Association Conference.

There was plenty happening for Douglas County!

🎉 Three health care interpreters who work with Umpqua Health members, Ana Garcia, Gaby Rosales and Maria Salazar, received OPHA's Health Equity Champion Award for their work supporting language access. 🥳

Interpreters help members ask questions, understand their health and communicate with their providers. Their work helps make health care easier to understand for people who speak languages other than English.

Our team also participated in conversations about public health, traditional health workers and ways to support communities across Oregon.

Congratulations to Ana, Gaby and Maria on their recognition.

Health is about more than doctor visits and prescriptions.

Having reliable transportation, stable housing, access to healthy food and support from your community can all affect your health and well-being. When these needs are difficult to meet, getting and staying healthy can become more challenging.

That is why Umpqua Health Alliance works with community partners and offers programs that help eligible members connect with services beyond medical care.

If something is making it harder for you to get the care you need, we want to help. Contact Customer Care to learn about the resources and support that may be available.

Managing your healthcare can become more challenging when you are seeing multiple providers.

If you have a primary care provider, specialists or behavioral health providers, keeping track of appointments, referrals and follow-up care can feel overwhelming.

Care coordinators help eligible members navigate their care, connect with services, understand next steps and stay informed throughout the process.

If your healthcare has started to feel difficult to manage, ask your provider whether care coordination is available, or contact Customer Care to learn more.

Taking care of your teeth and gums is an important part of taking care of your overall health.

Research has shown that oral health is connected to overall health, and regular dental visits can help identify problems before they become more serious.

Preventive dental visits are covered through OHP. If you are eligible, completing a qualifying dental exam may also qualify for a $15 Sherm's Thunderbird Market gift card through the Prevention First Incentive Program.

If it has been a while since your last dental visit, contact your dental provider to find out if you are due for an exam.
