my friends own a nice RV park in Port Orford, don't know how you feel about an rv but they have rv rentals there on the property. Just a mile from the ocean. It's called Camp Blanco RV Park. Jeff and Angie are the owners. It really is a nice park...

I have been a "regular" member of the Eugene/Springfield support group meetings, and I feel awful about the poor attendance. I would have come to the July meeting, but vacation only comes once a year..............

i totally enjoyed all the meetings and it was a great group.  Hate to see it close up, but understand your doing so.

Best of luck to you Linda!

The Oregon Health Plan (OHP) is the state's version of Medicaid.

I checked OHP's prioritized list of health services that was effective April 1, 2009.  WLS is covered under line 33 only when the co-morbidity is Type 2 Diabetes and the BMI is 35 or more.  Those without this co-morbidity are still considered far lower in priority under line 608 of the same list and are therefore not covered under the OHP.  Nothing was mentioned about any revisions.

Any challenge to this list should be directed to the Oregon State Health Services Commission.  Click on "Contact Us" on the left side of the web page.

Hope this helps!
