Mobile Needle Exchange Site In Multnomah County Could Be Cut From Budget

(Multnomah County, OR)  --  Multnomah County could be cutting a mobile needle exchange site in Gresham from its budget.  The Health Department has to cut its budget by 3 percent as it faces a 200 thousand dollar shortfall.  Those cuts are expected to come from the Harm Reduction Program, which includes the mobile needle exchange.  The program has exchanged 250 thousand syringes this year at the Gresham location alone.
