Tips for using the Resource Database

Once inside the Resource Database you can:

• Click any resource's name there to open its full entry (address, phone, notes, and more), and use your browser's back button to return to the Resource Library.
• Check Geography and County before sharing a resource with a patient — some listings are Oregon- or county-specific.
• Check Cost before making a referral — Free, Sliding scale, and Self-pay listings can cover the same kind of service.

To see the full database, switch to Browse by Topic or Default View.
