CAHOOTS

Contract negotiations continue between the White Bird Clinic and staff members of the CAHOOTS and HOOTS crisis intervention programs.

Eugene’s mayor is calling on Oregon’s governor and the state health agency to keep her city’s sole hospital in operation.

After more than three decades, oversight of the mobile-crisis intervention program, CAHOOTS, will be shifted from the Eugene Police Department to Eugene-Springfield Fire.

With frigid and damp winter weather expected through February, several local organizations are launching an all-out push to gather supplies for the unhoused.

Workers with two programs run by the White Bird Clinic are pressing on with unionization efforts.

CAHOOTS is struggling to meet demand in Eugene-Springfield, even as its model for community healthcare is adopted nationally.

The White Bird Clinic’s executive coordinator, Chris Hecht, says they’re offering their model as an 8-week, online course for non-profits, governments, and community groups who want to explore their approach, and possibly introduce it into their own communities across the nation.
