United to reduce overdose and build healthier communities

Many roads lead to recovery

Save Lives Oregon is a movement built on the recognition that a healthier community starts with saving lives.

We invite your organization to join us to support pathways to hope, healing and health in your community.

Who we are

We are a network of over 380 organizations working across all 36 counties in Oregon to stop the spread of infectious disease and reduce the harms of drug use.

Save Lives Oregon was formed in 2020, as fentanyl flooded the illicit market and COVID-19 devastated communities. Led by the Oregon Health Authority and a leadership team of diverse community partners, Save Lives Oregon provides supplies, education and training to organizations and Tribal communities, partnering with you to support your efforts or help you get started with this life-saving work.
