Lack of health insurance decreased from 14.8% of the population to 12.2%, and diabetes decreased from almost 10% to 9%.

In terms of senior health, Oregon enjoys high SNAP enrollment and a low prevalence of fall related injuries, but faces challenges in a high prevalence of chronic drinking, poor mental health and low flu vaccination coverage.

CPR in Oregon

CPR certification is a sort of insurance policy, in that it is better to have it and not need it than it is to need it and not have it. Oregon’s health challenges demand many professionals and non-professionals alike who are trained in CPR. Whether you are using certification as a job qualification or training just in case you might need it to save the life of a friend or family member, CPR certification is a good thing to keep in your pocket.
