Program Locations
 Oregon
Background: The Oregon Department of Human Services - Public Health
Division is funded as a WISEWOMAN program as of June 2008.
Lifestyle Interventions: Oregon will use the Living Well with
Chronic Conditions Program
http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/livingwell/index.shtml to help women at
risk develop a healthier diet, increase their physical activity, and
self-manage their chronic condition in other, effective ways.
Participants in the Living Well program attend a six-week workshop with
others affected by chronic conditions. Through weekly sessions, the
workshop provides support for continuing normal daily activities and
dealing with the emotions that chronic conditions may bring about. The
Living Well workshop is the same as the Chronic Disease Self-Management
Program (CDSMP) developed by Stanford University.
Sites: The Virginia Garcia
Memorial Health Center*,
Community Health Center*
and a yet to be determined third site will be our pilots for year one.
Services will be provided to the Oregon Breast and Cervical Cancer
Program providers and their clients. Our "priority" population to be
served include African American, Hispanic, Native American, and rural
women across Oregon.
Screenings: Screenings are expected to begin at our pilot
sites in January, 2009.
Key Partners: American Heart Association, Oregon Breast and
Cervical Cancer Program, and Susan G. Komen For The Cure (Oregon and SW
Washington Affiliate).
