The statistics are not good. Oregon scores bottom third nationally for hospital safety, almost a third of Oregonians, in or out of hospitals, have experienced a medical error, and most of the time when an error happens, nobody tells the patient.

Close to one-third of Oregonians have experience with medical errors like incorrectly prescribed medication or botched surgeries, but providers often failed to adequately inform them of their errors, according to a new report. The Oregon Patient Safety Commission released the findings this week in a...

Despite the lawsuits, Planned Parenthood affiliates nationwide are now blocked from getting Medicaid reimbursements. In Oregon, that means a $17 million shortfall. State lawmakers are mulling options to shore up the healthcare provider.

Oregon’s legislative Democrats are once again looking for ways to strengthen abortion access in the wake of federal funding cuts to abortion providers. Oregon already has some of the strongest abortion protections in the country. The state has no restrictions on how far along a person must be in t...

Those landfill expansion hearings are now set; we have all the dates and info. Plus, reporter Mike Suarez has some fun with the creepy dump owner’s astroturf campaign.

You know that big old landfill your mama warned you about. The one that’s always wanting to suck up more space and won’t take an official government no-no-no for an answer. Well, as we all know, they are back, and full-on creepy as hell. They are Republic Services. And the Benton County Board of...

After months of City Council arguments and angst and negotiation over just who would conduct City Manager Mark Shepard’s annual performance review, shrug. Stays the same as always. Plus, the Council suspends some sound ordinances for area businesses.

Weighing in at four hours and eleven minutes, Monday’s Corvallis City Council meeting was at times, tense. The public comment period was chock full of differing opinion on the Israeli divestment, or BDS resolution. Much of the testimony was against it, some of the most emotional testimony coming f...

While not violations, Hoyle reported transactions within industries overseen by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee and the House Natural Resources Committee, on which she serves. She also filed her reports late.

And it’s her second time this month. Rep. Val Hoyle was weeks ...

Oregon’s budget surplus from a few months ago went p**f. After federal cuts, the state is facing a $375 million shortfall. Now, the governor has ordered a stop to any non-essential travel by state employees and is telling agency directors to anticipate budget cuts.

Tina Kotek ordered an immediate halt to state employees’ non-essential out-of-state travel and directed agencies to find more ways to cut costs on Tuesday after Oregon’s budget surplus from a few months ago turned into a nearly $375 million shortfall. In a letter to all state agency directo...

Researchers at OSU may have a lit path to brighter lights that cost less and are far easier on the planet. It’s a big deal. We’re talking 13% of global carbon dioxide emissions. AND, BONUS, a possible end to reliance on rare earth metals. Congrats OSU!

Scientists at Oregon State University have taken a big step toward lighting and display technologies that are more energy efficient and better for the planet. The work centers around crystalline, porous materials known as metal organic frameworks, often abbreviated as MOFs, and points toward next-ge...
