Polk County has moved from Civic Ready to Everbridge.  Please consider becoming familiar with Everbridge if you live within Polk and Marion Counties.  Most of the State already uses or is also switching to Everbridge in an effort to mainstream Emergency Alerts within the State of Oregon.

Polk County Public Health Department and Oregon Health Officials are reporting that a bat found at the Independence River Front park tested positive for rabies on Tuesday 8/3/21 according to Oregon State University, Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory.  So far, in 2021, 7 other bats have tested positive for rabies in the state. Approximately 8% of the bats tested are found to have rabies every year in Oregon.

Any individual seeking services at Polk County Behavioral Health (PCBH) are assured that they will be served regardless of ability to pay. No one is refused service because of lack of financial means to pay. This program is designed to provide free or discounted care to those who have no means, or limited means, to pay for their medical services (uninsured or underinsured).
