OHA Distributed 10,000 Summer Cooling Devices
(Portland, OR) -- Oregon residents at risk from heat and wildfire smoke-related health issues had more ways to stay healthy through this year's extreme summer heat and wildfires. The Oregon Health Authority provided more than ten-thousand air conditioners, air filters and devices to protect the state's most vulnerable residents, those with low incomes or chronic health conditions. The devices were distributed through Oregon's new, first of its kind, Medicaid climate benefits plan and the Air Conditioner and Air Filter program.
