Behind-the-scenes of saving lives. 🚨

When a patient comes to us experiencing heart failure, one available advanced treatment is to implant a peripheral left ventricular assist device (pVLAD).

A pVLAD is a tiny device that functions as a pump to help unload the left ventricle and provide circulatory support.

This valuable technology enables the heart to be supported immediately. ❤️

We’re proud to offer this life-saving technology to better serve our patients. 🏥

Help us rebuild the blood supply during this critical shortage.🩸

Join us this Thursday, Jan. 22 as we host a blood drive with Red Cross Cascades Region at our Health Education Center from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Register to donate at: https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=HillsboroMedCtr

We're facing a severe blood shortage — our national blood supply has fallen by 35% over the past month. During a blood shortage, doctors may face difficult choices about which patients receive blood transfusions and who will need to wait.

We are in urgent need of donors to help patients who are counting on lifesaving blood following accidents, during surgeries, and for treatment of conditions such as sickle cell disease and cancer.

Help us beat the current shortage by scheduling an appointment to give blood or platelets: https://rdcrss.org/3LRmvrU

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month.

When found early, cervical cancer can be highly treatable and is associated with long survival.

Regular screening with Pap tests and HPV tests can help find problems early.

Talk to your provider to make sure that you are up to date on your cervical cancer screening.

Cervical Cancer Awareness Month is your reminder to get screened and to get the HPV vaccine.

The Pap tests are screening tests that can find precancerous cell changes and cervical cancer early.

HPV vaccination can prevent new HPV infections but does not treat existing infections or diseases. This is why the HPV vaccine works best when given before any exposure to HPV. You should get screened for cervical cancer regularly, even if you received an HPV vaccine.

Schedule your cervical screening with your provider. If you don’t have a provider, call 211 for assistance.
