Building bridges Providence Newberg Health Foundation
April was at her lowest. She had been through five surgeries for severe endometriosis and her anxiety and depression were becoming overwhelming. She asked her doctor where to get help.
That’s when April learned about the Better Outcomes thru Bridges behavioral health program. A BOB outreach worker comes alongside patients of Providence hospital and some clinics in Oregon, who are experiencing behavioral health issues, need support and/or help with basic needs. The BOB worker provides support and helps bridge the gap to find services the patient or family needs.
Alberto beats the odds Providence Community Health Foundation
Alberto Bello and his wife, Barbara, were running errands when he suddenly felt excruciating pain in his shoulders and broke out in a severe sweat. Before they made it out of the store, Alberto had to sit down due to chest pains and numbness in his left arm. His wife, a nurse at Providence Medford Medical Center and familiar with the signs of a heart attack, called 911. Alberto was hooked up to an EKG during the ambulance ride.
