A year ago, many things in the world paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. But the need for blood never stopped. Today blood donations are just as essential, and the American Red Cross urges individuals who are healthy to make an appointment to donate blood.
For patients in the emergency room, fighting cancer or coping with a life-threatening illness, help can’t wait. Their health is reliant on the selfless generosity of blood donors. However, the blood supply continues to face challenges from the ongoing pandemic and extreme winter weather that impacted much of the U.S. last month.
TRI-COUNTY — The Tri-County remained in the red zone and above the state average for the overall current incidence rate which was at 19.24 new COVID-19 cases on Wednesday.

Mashiyat Rashid, the man who orchestrated a nightmarish Medicare fraud scheme in Michigan and Ohio, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
The scheme involved coercing patients at Tri County Wellness Group s clinics to submit to medically unnecessary and sometimes horribly painful back injections in order to get prescriptions for opioids.
Some of the patients were genuinely suffering from pain, and some were addicts. According to testimony at Rashid s trial, some of the patients could be heard screaming during the procedures, which were described by a former Tri County employee as barbaric, and some suffered injuries, including open holes in their backs.

We re taking the lessons we ve learned forward to both help end the pandemic as quickly as possible and to inform major initiatives around housing, mental health and early childhood education.
Reopening depends on lowering case counts, hospitalizations and deaths. So Multnomah County is aggressively using the small share of vaccines it receives from the state to reach people at highest risk of getting sick and dying.
