(Ashland, OR) -- Oregon Health and Science University will expand its Street Nursing Team that's been working in Jackson County. A pilot project where nurses meet with people who are homeless to provide hygiene services and advice about how to use the anti-overdose drug naloxone has been successful. They plan to start offering services in Klamath County by the end of next year. The rising cost of living, the pandemic, and the 2020 wildfires contributed to more people being homeless. By the end of 2026 they hope to conduct more than one-thousand outreach visits.
