The Oregon Chapter of ACEP proudly represents the professional interests of the hundreds of Emergency Physicians serving the state of Oregon.
The Oregon Chapter of the American College of Emergency Medicine is located in Portland, OR.
We know things are changing rapidly, but at the same time feeling like nothing has changed at all since 2020.
We’re tired too. We also want this to be over (really, really, badly).
But the best thing we can do is to stay on top of developments, keep masking when needed, and keep encouraging as many Oregonians as possible to get their vaccines.
Keep yourself and your family safe when smoke levels are high. Find a cleaner air space in your area by visiting https://211info.org and searching "clean air shelters." You can also call 2-1-1 or 1-866-698-6155 any time, any day.

@GovCanHealth says #COVID19 is airborne.
