HHS Funding Cuts Impact Oregon

(Portland, OR) -- The Oregon Health Authority says the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is cutting 117-million-dollars in COVID-era grants. The money was used to create Oregon's 988 crisis line and was being used to fill gaps in substance use treatment, prevention, and recovery services. A grant was used for the Equity Office in the Public Health Division. Several immunization-related grants included money for vaccination clinics. Other money went toward laboratory capacity, modernizing data systems, and improved testing.
