An Open Letter to Oregon from the OMA President | April 11, 2020
On Saturday, April 11, 2020, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) released a letter to Oregon penned by Kevin Ewanchyna, MD, the President of the Oregon Medical Association. The letter is reprinted here in full. Our thanks to our OHA colleagues for the opportunity to share Dr. Ewanchyna's message.
Like many healthcare professionals the world over, Oregon’s physicians, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals are facing an unprecedented challenge, perhaps the most urgent of their careers. Given the scope of the problem presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, it would be easy—and understandable—for clinicians to feel overwhelmed.
It was Hippocrates who stated, “Cure sometimes, treat often, comfort always.” We have never before seen a moment, both for those currently delivering care and those receiving care, in which this statement has rung so very true. Read more.
OMA Statement on Measures to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 | March 20, 2020
OMA physicians and physician assistants are responding to the COVID-19 pandemic and want to assure their patients and the public that by following public health measures we can greatly minimize spreading the virus.
The OMA will continue to advocate for measures that help treat patients suffering with the disease, support frontline healthcare workers, and encourage the public to help slow the spread of the pandemic to save lives.
The OMA supports stay-at-home policies that communicate the importance and the gravity of following aggressive social distancing practices to the public. These practices are essential to help “flatten the curve” of COVID-19 cases during this pandemic to prevent overwhelming our hospitals and preserving our healthcare workforce for the benefit and safety of all Oregonians.
