To ensure that our Douglas County got the best help possible, during the COVID-19 pandemic, UHA worked with our Community Partners in many different ways:

• Housing Umpqua First
  • Giving the homeless pocket sized hand sanitizers.
• Peace at Home (F.K.A. Battered Persons Advocacy)
  • Women who were victims of violence at home were given housing away from their homes.
    • If you would like help in a violence at home situation, please visit: https://peaceathome.com/.
• ADAPT and Compass
  • Handing out cell phones and data plans.
    • These were used to help keep people in touch with a mental health provider.
    • This also helped them go to NA/AA when phone meetings were the only option.
• Roseburg Rescue Mission
  • Sneeze guards for their food service workers,
  •  Gloves,
  • Bags for “to-go” meals,
  • UHA also put UV lights in the building ducts to help limit the spread of germs.
• Fish Pantries, UCAN Food Bank, and Meals on Wheels:
  • Food boxes for families.
  • Daily meals that were brought to people with disabilities.
• HIV Alliance
  • Food,
  • Gas,
  • Personal hygiene items,
  • Housing aid,
  • Urgent food needs for the homeless.

• August is National Immunization Awareness Month
  • This brings to light the importance of getting your shots through your life. You have the power to protect yourself and your family against severe illnesses. Call your doctor today to see if you are up to date on your shots. UHA covers yearly flu shots. If you are over 50 years old, you are eligible to get shingles shots and pneumonia shots. Children 0 to 18 are covered for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) suggested shots.
• July 6^th through the 12th is National Childhood Obesity Week
  • The CDC states that 1 in 5 children is considered obese. Obese is when someone has a higher amount of body fat than what is considered healthy. A child that is obese has a higher risk of having chronic health problems. Issues like asthma (breathing problems), sleep apnea (trouble breathing in your sleep), joint problems, and type 2 diabetes. Kids who are obese also may be bullied. This can cause depression and low self-esteem. It’s important to keep your children active. It’s especially important during this time of social isolation. With the summer months, there are plenty of things for kids to do outside.
    • Here are some low cost, fun ideas to get kids active. Many of these items can be bought from the dollar store!
      • Hula hooping
      • Jump rope
      • Sidewalk chalk

Hands and Feet Hopscotch

Create a hopscotch

Sponge Darts

• As always, UHA wants you to be safe during the summer months:
  • • Wear plenty of sunscreen and apply often.
    • Drink a lot of water!
    • When going in the river, always wear a life jacket.
    • If you’re riding a bike or scooter, wear a helmet!

These things may not seem like much, but it will help keep you safe.
