Fora Health’s 4th Annual Toy Drive

The $936K Community Benefit Initiative grant recognizes Fora Health’s commitment to enhancing community health and well-being. The grant funds will help the organization support unhoused patients in recovery to access housing with rental payments assistance, security deposits, home furnishings, utility expenses and food needs. The grant also helps create an opportunity to provide Fora Health’s unhoused patients with complete whole-person care, affording them the opportunities to become fully independent in a new housed environment and accrue resources necessary to keep them from falling back into houselessness – a serious issue facing the Portland metropolitan area.

Dr. Eowyn Rieke, Fora Health’s Outpatient Medical Director, recently had three presentations accepted to national conferences in 2024. She will present “Maximally Supportive Care: Creating Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Systems to Improve Engagement and Retention” and “3.7R Medically Monitored Residential: Creating a Critical Service for Complex Patients” at the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) 55th Annual Conference (Dallas, Texas – April 4-7), and “Fent to Bupe: Paths to Success from Camp to Clinic” at the 2024 National Health Care For The Homeless Conference & Policy Symposium (Phoenix, Ariz. – May 13-16).
