Earlier this week, our ambulatory care leadership team came together despite the stormy weather to tidy up downtown Hillsboro with Solve. ✨

At Hillsboro Medical Center, our culture of service to our community runs deep.

From participating in our Red Cross blood drives to providing book donations for our youngest patients, our staff go above and beyond to support our community’s health and well-being.❤️

Jachter Family Wines is offering a $25,000 matching gift to support ¡Salud! Services and vineyard steward health care.

That means every gift made before December 31 will go twice as far.

Your donation becomes double the care coordination, double the access to services, and double the support for the people who make Oregon wine possible.

Donate today at: https://bit.ly/3KDA4e9

More than $12,000 has already been raised, and we are halfway to unlocking the full $25,000 matching gift from Jachter Wines. Your gift today helps us reach the goal and double your impact for vineyard steward families.

Recently, a vineyard steward shared with us that rising food prices and the lack of work during the slow season was making it hard to keep food on the table. As bills piled up, he worried about how he would provide for his family. Thanks to donor support, ¡Salud! was able to provide them with grocery gift cards, connected his family to a local food bank and helped them secure rent assistance. The relief for him and his wife was immense.

This is what community looks like. And it is possible because of you.

Help us unlock the full $25,000 match from Jachter Family Wines. Every dollar you give today is doubled, helping families stay fed, housed and secure.

While the holidays are festive, this can also be a difficult season for many people.

If you or a loved one is struggling, know that there are resources available to help. ⬇️

Loneliness can be felt by anyone of any age, and the holiday season can be a particularly tough time. If you need support, help is just a phone call away.

The Senior Loneliness Line of Oregon is a free hotline that people ages 60+ can call when they want to talk to someone, for any reason. Your information is completely confidential, and no one will follow up with you unless you request a call.

The David Romprey Oregon Warmline or Oregon Youth Line, both available 24/7, can also offer confidential support for people experiencing loneliness.

If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, help is always available. 988 provides a 24/7 connection to confidential support. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org.
