The State of Oregon is forming a plan should Ebola make it’s way to the state.
Six Oregon health systems have agreed to serve as referral centers for patients positively diagnosed with Ebola. That means they will have the capacity and the training to offer appropriate and safe treatment.
If no federal facility is available these six organizations will be prepared to accept patients who have tested positive for the Ebola virus at other Oregon facilities:
OHSU, Legacy Health, PeaceHealth, Providence Health & Services, Samaritan Health Services, Kaiser Permanente Northwest.
They will also work closely with the CDC to deal with any other circumstances that occur during treatment.
At this point, No one in Oregon has tested positive for Ebola.
