Health Considerations in Oregon
Western Oregon's rainy, mild climate drives high rates of respiratory infections and seasonal affective conditions during the long wet season from October through May, while Eastern Oregon's high desert environment is dramatically drier and hotter. Wildfire smoke has become an increasingly significant respiratory health concern across Oregon during summer months — smoke from wildfires in the state and neighboring California and Washington regularly pushes air quality into unhealthy ranges, worsening asthma and other respiratory conditions.

Should I go to urgent care or the ER in Salem?
