OREGON STATE HOSPITAL CRISIS EXTENDS BEYOND PANDEMIC The last year has placed the Oregon State Hospital in a crucible, from which it’s not likely to emerge any time soon. Since the coronavirus pandemic began, the psychiatric facility has faced serious staff shortages that reached a peak Thursday when the state agreed to help staff the hospital with 30 National Guard members. UNUSED JOHNSON & JOHNSON COVID DOSES ARE PILING UP AS FDA The Biden administration is encouraging states to hold on to hundreds of thousands of soon-to-expire covid vaccine doses from Johnson & Johnson, given the possibility that additional data will show the shots are viable beyond their expiration date at month’s end. COVID WAS A TIPPING POINT FOR TELEHEALTH. IF SOME HAVE As the COVID crisis wanes and life approaches normal across the U.S., health industry leaders and many patient advocates are pushing Congress and the Biden administration to preserve the pandemic-fueled expansion of telehealth that has transformed how millions of Americanssee the doctor.

OREGON HOUSE PASSES BILL REGULATING NURSE STAFFING LEVELS Oregon House lawmakers on Friday passed a bill that puts more oversight in place for hospital nurse staffing plans during long-term emergencies like the COVID-19 pandemic.

OREGON SENATE PASSES BILL EASING BARRIERS TO PROTON BEAM 4 hours ago · Oregon lawmakers want prostate cancer patients to get better access to proton beam therapy with less red tape from insurance companies. The Senate approved Senate Bill 2A on Tuesday, which removes some of the insurance barriers patients face when they need proton beam therapy to treat prostate cancer. The Senate passed the bill 29-1, with Sen. Dallas Heard, R-Roseburg, opposed only OREGON STATE HOSPITAL ADVISORY BOARD SAYS IT WAS EXCLUDED An advisory panel to the Oregon State Hospital says it was blind-sided by the hospital’s move to request help from the National Guard to help relieve a severe staffing shortage. AN ANTI-VACCINE FILM TARGETED TO BLACK AMERICANS SPREADS “I was naive, certainly, in assuming that this was actually a documentary, which I would say it is not.
