This location is strategically chosen for its easy accessibility and will provide seamless support for community members and crisis response teams, including Mobile Crisis Services of Lane County (MCS-LC) and other crisis service providers.
The campus will offer comprehensive services, including PeaceHealth's Behavioral Health Hospital (BHH) for inpatient care and the Lane Stabilization Center (LSC). The LSC will provide a safe alternative to emergency rooms or jails for individuals in crisis and support those needing behavioral health stabilization, ensuring that all behavioral needs are met.
This partnership will provide much-needed access to behavioral services to meet the community's growing needs.
For more information about the Lane Stabilization Center, go to: https://www.lanecountyor.gov/stabilizationcenter

[cid:image015.jpg at 01DB248D.3089D690] Medicare open enrollment, which runs from Oct. 15 to Dec. 7, is a crucial time for people in Oregon to review and adjust their Medicare health coverage<https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fshiba.oregon.gov%2Fmedicare-65%2FPages%2Findex.aspx%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/1/010101929d5a4058-ff73cd42-66df-4921-a921-2f5a2986f6fe-000000/2lWsLV-4NFOqo9TKK2JnPb77j8dvp3MGu1sx-hy3bwI=375> for the following calendar year.
During the open enrollment period, Medicare recipients can:

  *   Switch between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans.
  *   Change from one Medicare Advantage plan to another.
  *   Join, switch or drop a Medicare drug plan (Part D).
This year, Medicare open enrollment is even more important as many people face changes in their Oregon Health Plan (OHP/Medicaid) coverage due to the end of the federal public health emergency. After losing OHP, people on Medicare should consider their plan choices, such as a Medicare Advantage plan, Medigap policy, or Part D prescription drug coverage.
This blog will also tell you about OHP and Medicaid programs that can help with Medicare costs: BLOG: How to navigate your Medicare open enrollment decisions<https://links-2.govdelivery.com/CL0/https:%2F%2Fcovidblog.oregon.gov%2Fmedicare-open-enrollment-what-you-need-to-know%2F%3Futm_medium=email%26utm_source=govdelivery/2/010101929d5a4058-ff73cd42-66df-4921-a921-2f5a2986f6fe-000000/YlDuyQNTPRerNOtu2IYPdQy7lA8ZOF8S88gfUncWAYM=375>
