  • Diseases & Conditions (chronic and communicable diseases, injury data and genetic conditions)
  • Healthy Environments (drinking water, environmental exposures, food safety, radiation protection, recreation and workplace health)
  • Healthy People & Families (information about prenatal and infant health, child health, women's health, men's health, WIC and reproductive and sexual health)
  • Laboratory Services (information from the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory, virology/immunology, Laboratory Response Network and ORELAP)
  • Preparedness (information about emergency preparedness in Oregon)
  • Prevention & Wellness (antibiotic awareness, immunizations, nutrition, physical activity, oral health, safe living and tobacco prevention)

Your feedback welcome!

We recently redesigned our Public Health website. We changed from an organizational presentation of our content to a topic-based structure. The initial scope of this project was to move current web content to the new site and create the navigation features needed for the new topics. Because of the limited scope of the initial migration, we still have some work to do before we fully utilize our new topic-based structure.

As with any significant change, some challenges, frustrations and bugs may arise. This will be a learning experience for us, our partners and the public as we all become familiar with the new website. 

If you would like to share your feedback, click the "Send us your feedback" link in the top-left navigation of this page.

Thank you!
