All of us at the Oregon Medical Association wish you a safe and wonderful holiday season filled with health, happiness, and joyful memories.

As we reflect on the past year, one word rises above the rest: gratitude. Your commitment to caring for Oregonians — and your support of the OMA — affirms something essential: the practice of medicine in Oregon matters.

Please note: the OMA office will be closed from noon on December 24 through January 1. The year ahead holds tremendous promise, and we look forward to partnering with you in 2026 as we work together to advance the health and well-being in our state.

Warmest wishes,
The OMA Team

A message for your patients from Rethink the Drink in collaboration with the Oregon Health Authority:

Drinking less can help lower your risk for cancer and other health problems. Reaching for mocktails, going on a winter weekend getaway, sitting down for DIY crafts — these are all great ways to spend the season with less alcohol.

A message for your patients from Rethink the Drink in collaboration with the Oregon Health Authority:

Across the U.S. and in Oregon, alcohol is involved in more than one-third of motor vehicle crashes. If you do intend to drink this holiday season, make a plan ahead of time so you can get to and from your event safely. That could mean having a designated driver or taking a rideshare service. It can also include counting your drinks, setting a limit and considering non-alcoholic alternatives.

A message for your patients from Rethink the Drink in collaboration with the Oregon Health Authority:

Binge drinking is a pattern of drinking that happens if a man has five or more drinks, or a woman has four or more drinks, within around two hours. This type of excessive drinking can increase the risk of accidents, cancer and other long-term health harms. If you're looking for tools that can help your patients drink less during the holidays, check out Rethink the Drink’s resources page:
