Good morning, Oregon City.
Today, Health and Human Services cut $117 million in COVID-era grants from Oregon Health Authority programs, which will affect key services in nine Tribal communities and every county.
OHA officials said they are reviewing the cuts (including support for crisis and behavioral health programs) and (immunization grants) to understand their impact on local health services.
Former Timbers' goalkeeper Jake Gleeson won over $20 million after a five-year legal fight when a surgeon failed to sterilize a plate before placing it in his leg, which led to an infection and emergency surgeries—this decision ended his soccer career and highlighted concerns about player care.
