Untreated mental illness impacts everyone—whether it’s your own life, someone you love, or the community around you. Here in Oregon, the demand for behavioral health services is overwhelming, and the stigmas around mental illness still run deep. At Legacy Health, we see the impact every day. With leaders like Melissa Eckstein, President of Unity Center and Behavioral Health Services advocating for stronger systems of care, there’s hope for lasting change. As Mental Health Awareness Month continues, we encourage you to continue the conversation.

April is National Donate Life Month 💚 an essential time to celebrate the gift of life—and raise awareness about the urgent need for organ, eye, and tissue donors. Legacy Health is proud to join healthcare organizations nationwide in encouraging our community to take one powerful step: consider registering as a donor. Since 1999, Legacy has performed over 2,000 kidney transplants—744 from generous living donors. But the need keeps growing. Currently, 187 patients are on Legacy's kidney waitlist, and more are added every week than matched. Becoming a donor can feel like a big decision—but you're not alone in having questions or concerns.
