PENDLETON â Dr. Deborah Woodbury is getting to know her new town by lacing on her running shoes and hitting the streets.
In August, the physician moved to Oregon from Pennsylvania as COVID-19 ramped up. She would spend the next couple of months painting and installing flooring at her new North Hill home, and then start her family practitioner job at Pendleton Family Medicine in the fall.
