Hood River and Wasco counties have received a grant from the Oregon Health Authority to put towards sustainable relationships for community health. Jane Palmer is involved in administering the grant, saying the goal is to help make healthy choices easier, and support patients as they come into clinics and encourage them to do some of the preventive health activities that will save lives. The grant brought $195,000 into the Columbia Gorge area, and many different health care agencies are involved in the effort.
