About this resource

Climate Support is a service under health-related social needs (HRSN) provided by the Oregon Health Plan, aimed at ensuring safety during climate events through specific devices. These devices, which are intended solely for use in the member's home or primary residence, may include air conditioners, heaters, and air filters for maintaining clean air and comfortable temperatures, mini fridges for preserving medication during power outages, and portable power supplies for operating medical equipment like ventilators when the power is out. Members are eligible for HRSN climate services only once in their lifetime.

Intake Procedure: For more information, reach out via phone, email, fax, or visit the website.

Fees: There are no associated costs.
