Update regarding the Corona Virus in Oregon:
Salem, OR—March 5th, Governor Kate Brown announced that the state has reached an agreement with health insurance companies to waive cost-sharing for their customers who need COVID-19 testing.
Please remember the best thing you can do at this time is to wash your hands, avoid touching your eyes, mouth, or face, and stay home if you are feeling sick.
