CareOregon

Our Torch Journey may have come to an end, but there’s still time to support the lifesaving work of the American Heart Association!

Over the past two weeks, CareOregonians have joined together through heart-healthy activities to spread awareness, raise funds and build excitement for the Portland Heart and Stroke Walk on June 6.

You can still donate or start your own team to make an even bigger impact. We hope to see you at the Heart and Stroke Walk on June 6! To learn more, visit pdxheartwalk.org

Getting to a doctor’s appointment isn’t always easy.

For Amy, a CareOregon member, mother and person living with multiple sclerosis, having consistent and reliable transportation can be a challenge. Through the Ride to Care program, she’s able to get vehicle-provided rides to the care she needs.

Ride to Care helps members get to eligible appointments with free transportation options like public transit coverage, mileage reimbursement and vehicle-provided rides.

The countdown to the CareOregon Grand Floral Starlight Parade is on!

Last week our employees teamed up with the Portland Rose Festival Foundation and local volunteers to help clean up the Portland waterfront with Solve.

SOLVE is a local non-profit organization that routinely hosts trash pickup and habitat restoration events all over the state. We’re proud to partner with SOLVE to help keep our communities clean and safe for all.
