The Oregon Clinic
Beginning January 2022, Gastrointestinal & Minimally Invasive Surgery (GMIS) will be The Oregon Clinic Center for Advanced Surgery (CAS). We’ll continue delivering the highest quality surgical care, while remaining at our current locations at Providence Portland Cancer Center and Providence St. Vincent Medical Center.
When winter approaches, staying healthy and preventing illness is always a priority. This year, as we continue to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s more important than ever.
November is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Awareness Month. COPD is a chronic lung disease that makes it difficult to breathe and can cause severe coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
As of 2019, COPD is the third leading cause of death worldwide and affects over 16 million adults. The good news is that COPD is both preventable and treatable. It’s never too late to begin taking care of your respiratory health.
