North Central Public Health District is getting funding to help do its work both related to COVID-19 and its normal services.  District interim director Shellie Campbell told Wasco County Commissioners that they are blending together all of the short-term funding resources and hiring additional staff,  Campbell said much of their regular staff has transitioned to working on COVID-19 related issues.  Campbell noted the district has received word the Oregon Health Authority has made grants for community-based organizations to work with local health departments in support of contact tracing, wrap-around services, or communication and education.  She said a number of organizations in Wasco, Sherman, and Gilliam counties have received the grants, and the district will start to work with them on how they can help.
