#DYK most of the salt we eat isn’t added at the table? It comes in the processed, packaged & restaurant foods we eat as mealtime staples! That's why we're excited to have partnered with @ORCorrections to reduce the sodium in meals prepared & served to adults in custody by 17%.
In OR, people in prison are nearly 5x more likely to have cardiovascular disease than adults in the general population. High blood pressure damages a person’s circulatory system & is a major contributing factor to #HeartAttacks & #strokes, costly medical conditions to treat.
“95% of #Oregon inmates will eventually be released. When they re-enter society healthier, that saves money on health care costs & contributes to healthier communities for all of us,” said Pat Allen, Director of the Oregon Health Authority. For more: bit.ly/2U8ytN5

Dr. Dean Sidelinger, deputy state health officer and state epidemiologist, providing an update this morning: “We are now well into the new year, with spring rapidly approaching, and I’m happy to report there’s reason for optimism in the months ahead.”
“Overall, respiratory virus hospitalizations in Oregon have decreased significantly. And influenza and RSV spread in our communities continues to decrease, which means even fewer hospitalizations are expected in coming weeks.”
“We are keeping an eye on a recent uptick in COVID-19 activity, and we remain alert to the possibility of a second influenza wave driven by influenza B.”

Dr. Dean Sidelinger, OHA state health officer and state epidemiologist, speaking at today's news conference with @ORDeptEd Director Colt Gill: "I’d like to elaborate on some of the changes that are being made to the resiliency framework."
"It’s important to remember that while the worst of the current surge is behind us, #COVID19 still exists. It will continue to cause disease, even as we transition into a post-pandemic phase."

Dr. Dean Sidelinger, OHA state health officer and state epidemiologist: "Today marks the 2nd anniversary of our first #COVID19 case in Oregon. Since that time, we’ve experienced unprecedented disruption and loss. Oregon has logged 690,000+ cases and 6,500+ COVID-19 deaths."
"Each death is a heart-breaking reminder of the threat #COVID19 poses. We’ve lost family members, friends, colleagues and neighbors. My thoughts go out to everyone who has lost someone to the virus and those still battling the disease or helping a loved one recover."
"Since that first case, we’ve learned how to protect each other and our communities against #COVID19. We’ve also learned about the resilience and the resolve of Oregonians have shown in fighting back against the virus."

Dr. Dean Sidelinger, OHA state health officer and state epidemiologist, at today's news conference: "The highly contagious #Omicron variant is driving an alarming spike in #COVID19 infections, virus-related hospitalizations and test positivity, that we have seen in recent days."
"Today, OHA will report 10,451 new daily cases of #COVID19, a sobering reminder of the formidable challenge that lies ahead."
"This is not the way any of us wanted to begin the new year. We are all tired of taking steps to fight this virus. We are anxious as we hear from more of our family and loved ones who are sick with – or were exposed to – #COVID19."

Dr. Dean Sidelinger, OHA State Health Officer and State Epidemiologist, speaking at this morning's press conference: "Daily #COVID19 cases and hospitalizations are slowly coming down from record-highs, indicating that Oregonians are once again stepping up to fend off the virus."
"Our ability to sustain this hopeful progress and regain the upper hand over the coming weeks is dependent upon getting more adult Oregonians vaccinated, and on all of us continuing to wear masks and reconsidering plans that put us or others at higher risk of getting #COVID19."
"I want to emphasize that this latest surge is far from finished. The #DeltaVariant remains a formidable threat. We're still totaling 1,000+ #COVID19 related hospitalizations a day. These capacity levels are not sustainable. Our health system remains under significant stress."
