Portland, Oregon Health and Healthcare

Portland has a reputation for providing excellent — and affordable — public services to its residents. It hosts an innovative medical IT industry that promises to help reform the inefficiencies of the health care system in the United States. However, there is concern that Portland has an inadequate number of hospitals to care for its 550,000+ residents. Because of this, Portland residents without adequate health insurance may face obstacles in visiting a doctor for preventative care. This is because the 16% of Americans who lack health insurance are often unable to afford the emergency care that hospitals are obligated to provide.

Increasing numbers of uninsured people are being turned away for regular visits to a physician, putting them at risk for advanced-stage diseases that could have been prevented through annual checkups.
