Fact Sheet for Oregon
CDC’s Office of Public Health Preparedness and Response (PHPR) publishes an annual report to increase accountability regarding the nation’s investment in preparedness activities. This report, known as the National Snapshot, features national-level performance data as well as individual fact sheets for the 50 states, 4 cities, and 8 U.S. territories and freely associated states supported by the Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) cooperative agreement.
Surveillance Success in Oregon
In 2015, a foodborne outbreak associated with Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurants caused 13 cases of E.coli in Oregon, four of which required hospitalization. The same year, an outbreak of meningitis B at the University of Oregon resulted in seven cases and one fatality. Using PHEP-funded surveillance systems and response staff, the Oregon Public Health Division maintained a laboratory and epidemiological surveillance system capable of faster detection and identification of public health threats, and rapidly distributed lifesaving medication and emergency medical supplies to the public.
