A message of support from our PRIDE ERG Executive Sponsor, Matt Kinshella:

Happy PRIDE Month to the LGBTQIA2S+ employees at ODHS, especially the wonderful and dedicated members of the PRIDE ERG, as well as the many LGBTQIA2S+ community partners, Tribal members and people we serve.

The PRIDE ERG is ODHS' space to celebrate the strength, joy, and contributions of LGBTQIA2S+ communities. PRIDE ERG gatherings are chance to honor the people who have built community, created change, and shown extraordinary resilience in the face of challenges. PRIDE members remind us that authenticity is powerful, belonging matters, and every person deserves to be seen, valued, and respected for who they are. I see it play out every day in chats, meetings and activities in the community.

At the same time, PRIDE asks us to remember that the progress we celebrate today was hard won and cannot be taken for granted. Many LGBTQIA2S+ people continue to face discrimination, exclusion, and threats to their safety and well-being. As we celebrate Pride Month and the PRIDE ERG, we also recommit ourselves to creating communities where everyone can live openly, safely, and with dignity. Pride is both a celebration and a call to action—and its enduring spirit is found in the courage, resilience, and hope of q***r people everywhere.

As an ally and leader in the organization I take the responsibility to follow and support our PRIDE ERG in their mission to make Oregon and better place to live for all people.

It’s the season for long days, time outside and making memories.🌻

It’s also when we see the same injuries come through every year — many of them preventable.

A helmet. A little more water. Sunscreen. Trusting your gut when something feels off.

A day late, but every day is important.

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. By learning the signs of abuse and speaking up when we experience, see or suspect it, we can all help prevent and stop elder abuse.

Warning signs of abuse include:
- Physical: Unexplained injuries or physical signs of punishment or restraint.
- Emotional: Anxiety, depression, or behavior changes.
- Neglect: Poor hygiene, bedsores, weight loss or unsafe living conditions.
- Abandonment: A dependent person left alone.
- Sexual: Withdrawal, distress or physical symptoms.
- Financial: Unexplained bank transactions, late bill payments or missing assets.

In Oregon, you can report abuse of an older adult by calling the Oregon SafeLine at 1-855-503-SAFE (1-855-503-7233). The SafeLine is available 24/7, though you may be asked to leave a message and will receive a return call. If someone is in immediate danger, call 911 or local law enforcement.
